In the aftermath of a chemical incident, household pets, service, and assistance animals as well as livestock may require veterinary care to alleviate and reduce adverse health outcomes. The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) maintains a National Veterinary Stockpile (NVS) that includes pharmaceuticals as well as equipment for use in veterinary emergencies, including PPE and decontamination supplies. The APHIS Animal Care program can also provide technical assistance and expertise, including veterinary support.
