What Counts as a Pet Emergency?
Not sure if it’s an emergency? Trust your instincts and give us a shout. We’re here to help you figure out if your pet needs quick care—and to guide you every step of the way. Even if it’s a false alarm, we’d always rather you play it safe when it comes to your furry family.
There are some pretty clear signs your pet needs immediate attention. Here’s what to watch for:
- Difficulty breathing
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Sudden collapse or disorientation
- Persistent vomiting or diarrhea
- Ingestion of toxins or foreign objects
- Seizures
- Traumatic injuries
Urgent vet care also covers situations that aren’t life-threatening but still need prompt attention. If your pet isn’t acting like themselves, we want to see them.
