Accidents happen and sometimes our pets get sick in the middle of the night. It’s important to be prepared for the unexpected. Ask your regular veterinarian what their emergency protocol is. Do they offer after-hours emergency care or can they refer you to a practice that does? Keep the emergency veterinarian information in your phone or address book or tack it to the side of the fridge just in case.
I like that you pointed out that you should talk to your regular vet about their emergency policy. That way you know if you can go to them if something happens to your pet. If not you can prepare yourself by finding an actual animal emergency clinic.
