Stay Calm and Keep You and Your Pet Safe

In an emergency, your calmness can help keep your pet safe. Injured or scared animals might act out, even toward loved ones. Approach them slowly, speak gently, and use their name. Use caution: you may need to use a stretcher for a large dog or cover a cat gently with a towel before placing them in a carrier.

Support their body carefully, especially the head and spine. If necessary and you're trained, you can administer basic First Aid, or pet CPR until you arrive at our urgent care center.
