    If you are having an emergency with your pet:
  1) Stay calm - our pets sense our nervousness.
  2) Call ahead to the emergency hospital and let 
     them know what is happening, listen to their 
     advise, take the phone number with you in case 
     you need directions again.
  3) Take your important documents folder and 
      medical history papers with you.
  4) Be careful moving an injured or sick pet - they        may react or nip because they are scared.
  5) Bring your ID (Drivers License) and payment 
      method (cash, check or credit card).  
      Emergency hospitals do not have payment 
      plans or delayed billing...however they all
  6)  If you pet has ingested a toxin, pesticide, 
       human medication, or prescription bring all
       packaging and labels with you.

       from the ER to bring with you for follow up 
       care.  Also, ask the ER staff for a copy of any  
       x rays to bring to us too.
  8)  Please contact us to let us know that you and
       your pet went to the ER, so that we can
       offer continued care and help address any
