Veterinary Resources
At Bethel Mill Animal Hospital, we believe informed pet owners make confident decisions. We have gathered trusted veterinary resources to help you care for your dog or cat between visits. These links lead to respected third-party organizations that families across Gloucester County can rely on.
Emergency and Poison Control
In an emergency, quick action matters most. If you suspect your pet has swallowed something toxic, call a poison control hotline right away.
You can reach the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435, any hour of any day. The Pet Poison Helpline is also available at 855-764-7661. A consultation fee may apply for either service.
For urgent problems when we are closed, please see our emergency referral list to find a nearby emergency hospital.
Lost Pets and Microchips
If you ever find a lost pet, you can check for a registered chip through the AAHA Universal Pet Microchip Lookup. This free tool identifies which registry a chip belongs to, which is often the first step toward a reunion.
Parasite Prevention and Nutrition
Preventing parasites and feeding well are two of the best things you can do for your pet.
The American Heartworm Society offers clear guidance on heartworm disease and prevention.
For fleas, ticks, and other parasites, Pets & Parasites from the Companion Animal Parasite Council is a helpful reference.
To learn more about feeding your dog or cat, the WSAVA nutrition resources provide practical, science-based advice.

As an AAHA-accredited hospital, we also recommend the American Animal Hospital Association for trustworthy pet care information.
