Angie's List Pet Care - MyWabashValley
Jennifer Dunlap's cat had trouble breathing. Her regular vet was closed for the day.. so Dunlap took Shi-von to an emergency pet care clinic.
"They were very nice and they took their time and I didn't feel like they were like jeez why did you bring your cat in because she's not dying and I really appreciated it. They also corresponded with my regular vet giving them the information and letting them know that I'd taken her there so they could then do the follow up and the follow up care," says Jennifer Dunlap.
According to Angie's List, the premier provider of consumer reviews, if you are a pet owner, prepare for an emergency by finding a quality emergency pet care clinic in advance.
"Our pets are part of our family and all to often what happens if there is a problem is that we panic and we go to the nearest place we can find that's open. That's a bad idea. We should check out clinics ahead of time that are open 24 hours. That way we are ready in case of an emergency," says Angie Hicks, founder of Angie's List.
Also, keep a copy of your pets medical records out your house in case your regular vet is unavailable.
"Taking care of your pet's medical bills can be expensive. Some pet owners consider getting pet insurance, but if you do, make sure you read the fine print. Also, others have found it helpful to pen a pet savings account. That way it takes the stress out of situations that come up," says Hicks.
Best of all, try to prevent an emergency by having your pet go to routine veterinary check ups.
