If you think your pet is having an emergency, please call us right away at 206-828-6868 to speak with one of our veterinary professionals.
BRING any medical records and/or medications your pet takes with you when you come in.
DO NOT give your pet any medication prior to speaking to a veterinarian. Many human medications are toxic to pets. Ingestion of a single Tylenol tablet is life threatening for cats.
If your pet has ingested a toxic substance, if safe to do so, please bring in the substance, box, bottle, container, or anything that will help us identify the substance and ingredients.
If your pet has open wounds, hold a clean cloth against the wound to protect it and to stop any bleeding. Please come directly to our hospital for care.
Cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and reptiles are safest when presented in a carrier or box.
If your pet has had a serious injury, they might bite or scratch – Please BE CAREFUL.
Dogs who are ambulatory should be on a leash. Dogs who are not able to walk may be able to be carried with a heavy blanket or flattened thick cardboard box as a stretcher.
