How VPIS Works
- The Veterinary Poisons Information Service is a 24-hour telephone emergency service providing information on the management of poisoning in animals. VPIS can provide advice on the effects of thousands of toxic substances in small animals, livestock, exotics, or wildlife.
- VPIS is a members only service.If you call without a membership you will be charged and no further calls will be accepted until a membership is in place. You can take out membership at the time of your call.
- We use a credit system. One credit is charged for all in hour calls. Two credits are charged for all out of hour calls (This is reduced to 1.5 credits if you join our annual membership).
- Out of hour charges apply (8pm – 8am weekdays and all weekend/Bank Holidays)

Auto Top-Up Membership
This membership is aimed at practices who may not use us every year but wish to be members of VPIS so that they can access our services if needed.
With this system you purchase two credits using your credit card via our website and once these have been used (or expire after a year) they will automatically top-up with a further 2 credits using the registered credit card.
PLEASE NOTE: One credit is taken for calls made to VPIS in-hours (8am – 8pm weekdays) and two credits are taken for any calls received out of hours (all other times). Credits will expire after one year if not used.
