What Every Owner Needs to Know About Pet Threats and Pet Emergencies in Florida...

1. In case of a pet emergency, stay calm for the sake of yourself and your pet.  If you're upset, your pet will sense your state of mind and become fearful or even more upset.
2. Call your vet or Animal Emergency immediately at (727) 786-5755 .
3. Be prepared with basic information - your pet's type/breed, age, the problem, when the problem happened, and changes since the problem started. We will give you instructions specific to your situation.
4. Please remember, even gentle pets may bite or become aggressive when ill or injured.
