If you’re currently having a pet emergency, you need to call or go to the nearest animal hospital with your pet. Depending on the type of pet emergency, you may not want to move your pet so it’s best to call an on-call vet in order to find out whether you can safely transport your pet yourself. At the end of this article are ideas for who to call if you’re having a pet emergency right now.
Preparing for a Pet Emergency
You never know when you’re going to have a pet emergency. Anything can happen in an instant, especially with so many cars around. Pets are in danger not only from cars that drive too fast, but also from the fertilizers and pesticides sprayed on people’s lawns and gardens. If your pet is acting strangely, vomiting repeatedly over a number of hours, or will not eat or drink, you may have a pet emergency on your hands. And when something like that happens, you want to know what to do right away. That means you probably won’t do a lot of research to find the best pet hospital.
The best way to be prepared is to look for your best options before you have a pet emergency. That means going online to search for local pet hospitals that offer pet emergency services and seeing just what they are like. In some cases, you may simply choose the pet hospital that is nearest to your home, since it’s a good idea to be able to get there quickly if you’re having a pet emergency. However, if no single pet hospital is particularly close, you’ll have to decide between the various options. And just because a pet hospital is close, doesn’t mean that they offer the best pet emergency services.
