Is it safe? Toxic? gives you a fast, clear answer.
Type or photograph a plant, food, or household item and get an instant red / yellow / green verdict for dogs, cats, and people - plus what to do, the published source behind the answer, and the poison-control numbers you would need in a hurry.
WHAT IT DOES
- Instant safety check on dozens of common hazards
- Separate answers for dogs, cats, and people (it will not guess across them)
- Clear "why" and "what to do" for every item
- Every result cites its source, with a tap-through link to the original guidance
- One-tap access to ASPCA Animal Poison Control and Poison Control
- Snap a photo with the camera to help you identify an item
- Works offline, no account, no subscription
WHERE THE INFORMATION COMES FROM
Every verdict is drawn from published guidance and is cited in the app: ASPCA Animal Poison Control, Pet Poison Helpline, the National Capital Poison Center (Poison Control), the American Kennel Club, and the Merck Veterinary Manual. A Sources and References section is always available in the app.
FOR EVERY PET PARENT
Grapes, chocolate, xylitol, lilies, certain plants, common medications - the things that send people racing to search "is this poisonous?" at midnight. Toxic? puts the answer, the source, and the phone number in your pocket.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no tracking, no ads. Photos stay on your device.
