If you have pets, you know that unforeseen events can happen at any time. Having a plan for safely transporting animals sick or injured to the veterinary emergency hospital can make all the difference in saving the lives of your furry companions. Check out essential tips for transporting animals in more serious situations.
Remain calm and assess the situation
The first step is to remain calm. Your pets are probably scared and stressed, and it’s crucial that you be the voice of reassurance. Assess the situation and check the severity of the injuries or symptoms. This will help determine the urgency of transportation.
Call the Emergency Veterinary Hospital
While you assess the situation, call the emergency veterinary hospital to inform them of the situation and ask for guidance. We will provide specific advice for your case and prepare the team for your pets’ arrival.
Use a suitable transport box or blanket
If your pets are able to be moved, use a safe and appropriate pet carrier. Make sure the box is the appropriate size for the animals and is clean. If you do not have a carrier, a clean blanket or towel can be used to carefully wrap and carry your animals.
Avoid sudden movements
Maintain smooth movements and avoid any sudden movements that could worsen your pets’ injuries. If possible, ask someone to help you carry them, especially if they are large or heavy.
