The best time to plan for a pet emergency is before it happens — a few simple preparations can save critical time later.

Save Key Contacts

Your regular vet and a backup emergency clinic's contact information, saved in your phone where you can find it instantly under stress.

Know the Fastest Route

Have a general sense of how to get to your emergency option quickly, particularly if it's not your regular clinic.

Keep Records Accessible

Vaccination history and any known medical conditions, stored somewhere you can quickly reference or share.
