Emergency Care

Prepared pet owners can respond faster and more calmly. Start with a practical emergency kit and a written action plan.

Emergency kit basics

Your kit may include gauze, bandages, a towel, water, spare food, a collapsible bowl, a leash, contact details, and any prescription items your pet needs regularly.

  • Keep a recent photo of your pet available.
  • Store emergency vet numbers in your phone and on paper.
  • Refresh food, water, and medications before they expire.
  • Pack enough for travel, storms, or temporary displacement.
