When it’s Time to Act

Sometimes it’s easy to tell when your pet needs emergency care, such as after a serious injury. However, when you’re not sure, it’s important to know the signs that demand immediate treatment. Some of the most common cues to watch for include:

• Trouble urinating
• Loss of balance
• Unconsciousness
• Gagging or difficulty breathing
• Excessive vomiting or diarrhea
• A fever of 104 or greater
• Ingestion of known poisons

If you’re unsure, your pet is behaving unusually, or something doesn’t feel right, it’s best to contact us immediately. Call us right away for more information about when emergency care is needed and instructions for safely transporting your pet.

Preparing for an Emergency

One of the most powerful tools you have at your disposal for any potential emergency is preparation. Gathering the proper items and making decisions ahead of time helps prevent delayed action.

Be sure to save our contact information in your phone so you don’t have to look it up when needed. We also recommend that you keep a first aid kit in your home and car for easy access. You should create and become familiar with a plan of action to help you act quickly if an emergency occurs as well. Learning about emergency protocols, such as pet CPR, could potentially help save your pet’s life.

Make sure that the proper tags are on your pet’s collar and that you store all medical records in an easily accessible location at home. For further peace of mind, ask about our pet microchipping services and order your free pet safety pack, which comes with a bonus rescue window decal and Animal Poison Control Center magnet.
