The ASPCA has developed a Poisonous Plant “Pet Safe” App, available on iTunes.

Pet Safe includes:

• a searchable database of plants reported to adversely affect the health of dogs, cats and horses;
• detailed profiles of each plant, including common and scientific names, images and a list of potential symptoms if ingested

The Food Animal Veterinarian Recruitment and Retention Program, a joint effort of the AVMA and its charitable arm, the American Veterinary Medical Foundation, and funded by several industry partners, will provide financial incentives in the form of student loan debt forgiveness for veterinarians who commit to four years of employment in food animal veterinary medicine.
