Set a plan
Ask your vet about an emergency protocol, especially if your clinic isn’t available 24/7.
Be careful
Handle an injured pet with caution. Even the sweetest dog or cat can act out when hurt.
Stay calm
Try to keep your cool, so you can think clearly and avoid upsetting your pet even more.
Make a kit
Have a pet first-aid kit ready. See below for a full list of what you may need according to ASPCApro.
