Emergencies & First Aid

If you own a pet, there’s always a chance you may find yourself with a pet emergency on your hands. Calling your local 911 may not be of much help unless their EMT’s or Paramedics are willing to work on pets. So, unless you happen to live in one of those great cities that actually provide a specialized mobile “Emergency Animal Medical Technician” also known as EAMT service, your pet’s life may depend on you. Would you know what to do to give your pet the best chance possible to live until you can get him to the vet?
