We recommend having a plan in place of where you are going to go and what you are going to do in case your pet needs emergency treatment, touch wood you will never have to use it.
- Have the vet clinic number handy, ideally on your mobile and on your home phone, or fridge (ask for our magnet when you are in the clinic).
- Have an after-hours vet clinic number close by (see below).
- Always phone ahead when you are heading down for an emergency. That will give the nurses some time to get ready for your arrival and make sure the vet will be alerted so we are ready for your arrival. Our nurses are the A team to deal with an emergency
- Organise a family member or friend to be a contact for you if you need assistance with your pet, for example, if you have a large breed dog that may have collapsed.
- If your pet has been bitten or eaten something hazardous, bring that item with you or write it down, in most cases it will help with correct and fast treatment.
- We sell small First Aid kits for pets so ask our nurses to put one of them aside for you for all the basic things you might need for any small cuts and bruises.
