Contrac can be toxic to animals if enough is consumed, although an antidote, Vitamin K1 is readily available from your vet. If you believe your pet consumed any amount of this product, it is important to contact your vet or pet poison control as soon as possible
The risk of secondary poisoning with Contrac is very minimal. A rodent only consumes a very small amount of bait at a time and passes it very quickly only keeping a smaller amount in their liver until they succumb to the effects of the bait. A pet would have to actually eat 20-30 rodents that have consumed the bait for it to have an effect. In most cases well fed domesticated animals will not actually eat a mouse or a rat that they come across. Instead they will play with it, chew it and then leave it behind.
Rodents will die within 1-5 days after consuming a lethal dose of Contrac Meal Place Pack Rodenticide.
