Having all the right emergency procedure information for your pet’s care will also help save your pet’s life during a crisis. While the internet can be a great resource for most information, searching for emergency medical information can be very frustrating, a little too time consuming, and you may not always get the exact medical information you would get from a veterinarian’s published guide.
There are many wonderful books written by qualified professionals on the subject of pet’s first aid to keep on hand for dogs, cats and even horses that you can reference during emergencies while you get your pets to the vet.
Knowing what to do in the few first minutes of a critical emergency can make all the difference in how your vet will ultimately treat your pet when you first arrive at the clinic, and for their long term care. It can even mean the difference between life or death when an injury involves bleeding, shock or heart attacks in pets. We highly recommend the Cat Owner’s Home Veterinary Handbook (Third Edition) and the Dog Owner’s Home Veterinary Handbook (Fourth Edition, which include complete care for your pets.
