First Aid for Pets


Getting Emergency Treatment

All emergencies are best dealt with at the hospital where there is the staff and facilities to treat your pet's condition. The quickest way of getting your pet to the hospital is for you to take him/her there yourself, rather than waiting for a vet or nurse to find you. It is best to contact us immediately in the first instance, when we can give you specific advice on how to move your pet and prepare for your arrival.

Road Traffic Accidents

If your pet is lying in a busy road; try to move it out of further harms way without putting yourself in danger. This is often best achieved by gently placing on a blanket which can then be lifted as a stretcher. Once in a safe spot, cover with a coat or blanket to keep warm and arrange immediate transportation to the hospital.
