A very real — and growing — clinical challenge for veterinary and animal care professionals is emerging alongside the human-interest in psychedelic substances around the world - animal exposures, accidental, malicious, intentional, and human-adjacent.

Animal are being exposed, however, veterinary clinical response is still unknown - this is a new and emerging response need with novel substances, designer molecules with often chaotic exposure scenarios with little data and many, many variables.

Veterinary professionals need to know to identify, assess, and respond when an animal patient presents after suspected psychedelic ingestion. Additionally, how do clinicians and teams respond and care for pet guardians that may also be intoxicated or recently adjacent to a psychedelic substance?

Research & Therapeutic Use: clinical function-focused research through post-exposure or right-to-try therapeutic use.
