WORKSHOPS & SPECIAL EVENTS

 

Emergencies happen when we least expect them, and when it comes to our pets, the stakes are just as high. If your pet faces an emergency, staying calm and knowing what to do can make all the difference. Here are some essential tips to help you stay prepared.

 

Panicking won’t help you or your pet. It’s natural to be upset when your pet is in pain, but keeping a level head will make it easier for you to help them effectively.

 

Pets in pain may act out of character. Approach them slowly, talk softly, and let them see you. If needed, use a blanket to cover your pet’s head as you check for injuries.

 

Examine your pet for wounds or unusual spots. If you see excessive bleeding, use a towel, bandage, or even a sanitary pad to absorb it and apply pressure.

 

If your pet is unresponsive, remember ABC: Airway, Breathing, Circulation. Make sure their airway is clear, check for breathing, and assess their pulse. Our workshop with Dr. Nicole Rous includes practical training on these essential checks.

 

Always contact your vet when an emergency occurs. They can guide you on immediate steps and prepare for your arrival, if necessary.

 

on’t give your pet food or water unless your vet says it’s okay. You could make the situation worse.

 

Having a pet-specific first aid kit can be a lifesaver. Stock it with bandages, wound dressings, a tick remover, and even a foil blanket. Keep this kit both at home and in your car.

 

Store your vet’s contact details in your phone and keep them readily accessible at home. Time is of the essence in emergencies.
