Safety Tips

In the event that your pet ingests something toxic, please contact us immediately or, if it is after business hours, reach out to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center’s 24-hour hotline at (888) 426-4435. Trained toxicologists will assess the situation based on your pet’s age, health, and what was ingested, and provide recommendations on the necessary action to take.

When dealing with a pet who is severely unwell or injured, it is important to approach them with caution as they may react with aggression. Move slowly and calmly towards the pet, speaking their name and observing their reaction. If they display aggressive behavior, seek assistance immediately.

If a dog is unable to move, it is necessary to create a makeshift stretcher to transport them. Ensure that their neck is supported and secure throughout the process.

To transport a cat who is unable to move, slowly place a blanket or towel over their head to prevent biting. Then, lift the cat into an open-topped carrier or box in a gentle manner.

If a wound is bleeding, it is important to elevate the affected area and apply pressure to stop the bleeding.
