Preparing before an emergency

The best time to plan for an emergency is when your pet is healthy.

Know where to go

Save the address and phone number of the nearest 24-hour emergency clinic and the hours of your regular vet.

Keep records handy

Keep vaccination records, medicine lists and recent lab results in one place, ideally on your phone.

Save a little each month

Even a small emergency fund for your pet can make decisions less stressful.

Compare insurance early

If you want insurance, compare plans while your pet is young and healthy, before conditions become pre-existing.
