While most major cities and regions have their own animal ambulance service, there is also a national one. It is always good to have this number on hand if you need to get your pet to a hospital quickly and you cannot do it yourself.

Pet Poison Hotlines

These hotlines were set up for human use – however, they give advice for pets as well.

  • Nationaal Vergiftigingen Informatie Centrum (Netherlands)
    Please note: if you suspect your pet may have been exposed to something toxic, please first message The Good Boys Club or your primary care veterinarian.

  • Antigifcentrum (Belgium)
