Be ready

Know before you go

Go to the ER immediately if your pet has…

  • Difficulty breathing, choking, or blue/pale gums
  • Uncontrolled bleeding, major trauma, or was hit by a car
  • Seizures, collapse, or sudden inability to stand
  • Bloated, hard belly with retching (possible GDV — minutes matter)
  • Ingested antifreeze, xylitol, chocolate, grapes, or medications
  • Straining and unable to urinate (especially male cats)

Full emergency checklist

Save money without risking your pet

  • Urgent care clinics handle non-life-threatening issues for far less than an ER
  • A $30–$60 televet call can rule out a $200 "just in case" ER exam fee
  • Always call ahead — ERs can advise on stabilization and expected waits
  • Ask for an estimate in writing before authorizing treatment
