Animal Emergency

What will you do if your pet has an emergency?

There is no 911 emergency number for your pet. It is crucial, therefore, that you have a plan in place and information quickly accessible if your pet becomes ill or is injured in an accident or altercation with another animal.

HOW TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY PET PLAN

  1. Keep the name and contact information of the nearest animal hospital or emergency veterinary clinic on your refrigerator or other prominent place in your home.
  2. Make a list of different emergency scenarios that could occur and plan your reaction step by step. For example:
  • What would you do if your animal was poisoned?
  • What would you do if your dog was choking?
  • What would you do if your cat was hit by a car?

Walk through these scenarios so you and your family members are ready if your pet experiences that emergency.

  1. If you live in the Massillon, North Canton, or surrounding Ohio areas, write these numbers down and put them in a prominent place:

If your pet has an emergency:

  1. Call the animal hospital and let them know to expect you.
  2. Safely secure your pet in a pet carrier and take him or her to the animal hospital as soon as possible.

Note: Cats who are severely injured may act aggressively towards their pet parents.
You can gently place a towel or blanket over the cat’s head to prevent biting.

State-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment facilities

We’re a teaching Hospital

What does that mean for you? Take the case of Fluffy, for instance, a middle-aged dog who was brought to her MVH-affiliated veterinarian for vomiting. After a thorough physical exam is performed at the office, her veterinarian notes that more extensive testing may be needed. Referred to the hospital, Fluffy’s MVH-affiliated general veterinarian would still oversee her case, possibly ordering hospitalization with intravenous fluids, laboratory testing and diagnostic imaging. If necessary, her MVH-affiliated veterinarian could call on the expertise of one or more of the many board-certified specialists practicing in the hospital. Fluffy’s veterinarian is able to offer her superior diagnosis and care because he’s part of a centralized hospital.
