A pet emergency includes any situation where your pet’s health or safety is at immediate risk. Common signs of an emergency include severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, unconsciousness, seizures, suspected poisoning, or trauma from an accident. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to contact an emergency vet for guidance.

To prepare for a pet emergency, keep a first aid kit for pets at home, know the location and contact information of your nearest emergency vet, and have your pet’s medical records and any necessary medications readily available. Familiarize yourself with basic first aid procedures for pets and always stay calm in an emergency.

Routine check-ups are important for maintaining your pet’s health. Generally, it’s recommended to bring your pet in for an exam at least once a year. For older pets or those with specific health issues, more frequent visits may be necessary.

Pets can’t always tell us when they’re in pain, so it’s important to look for signs such as changes in appetite, difficulty moving, excessive vocalization, or unusual hiding. If you notice any of these signs or if you’re concerned about your pet’s comfort, contact us for an evaluation.

When calling about a pet emergency, provide as much information as possible, including your pet’s symptoms, any recent incidents or changes in behavior, and your pet’s medical history. This helps us prepare for your arrival and provide the best care possible.

The vaccinations your pet needs depend on their age, lifestyle, and health status. Common vaccines include those for rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and Bordetella. Our veterinarians will recommend a vaccination schedule based on your pet’s specific needs.

Emergency veterinary clinics typically send a summary of the visit to your regular vet after the emergency treatment. This ensures continuity of care and helps your regular vet stay informed about your pet’s condition and any follow-up care needed.

The cost of an emergency vet visit can vary based on the nature and severity of the condition, the required treatments, and your location. It’s a good idea to ask about payment options and costs when you first contact the emergency clinic. Some clinics offer payment plans or financing options to help manage expenses.

Yes, emergency veterinarians typically provide a follow-up plan detailing any necessary care, medications, or additional treatments your pet may need. They will also inform you about any signs to watch for and when to schedule a follow-up appointment with your regular vet.
