In an emergency, what you tell your vet in the first minute can shape how quickly appropriate treatment begins.
Core Information
Your pet's weight, what symptoms you're seeing, when they started, and any known exposure to toxins, injury, or trauma.
If Poisoning Is Suspected
Bring packaging or identify the substance and estimated amount if at all possible — this significantly speeds up appropriate treatment.
Recent Changes
Mention any recent medication changes, new foods, or environmental changes that might be relevant.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I call ahead if possible?
Yes, this lets the clinic prepare for your pet's specific situation before you arrive.
What if I don't know exactly what happened?
Share whatever you do know — partial information is still valuable, and your vet will guide further questions.
Is it helpful to bring photos of symptoms?
Yes, especially for things like skin changes or vomit/stool appearance that may change by the time you arrive.
