What should I expect when I arrive at the hospital?
The information you provide our team with when you first arrive at the hospital will be the most helpful in treating your pet. Questions you might need to answer are:
What is the best way to get my pet to the hospital?
If you’re injured, be careful when interacting with them. They might be more aggressive and guarded than usual. They might even try to bite you because they are in pain or afraid. For example, before handling your cat, make sure they’re covered with a blanket. Large dogs can be carried in on a flat firm surface, like a piece of plywood or board, or on a towel/hammock. Cats and smaller dogs should be contained in a sturdy box or carrier. If you think your pet might have a back injury, try to move them as little as possible and place them on their side. If you have questions about the best way to transport your pet to our hospital, please contact us before taking them in.
