- Follow Instructions Provided - When you call to let the emergency pet hospital know you are on your way, they may give you instructions to help you give your pet first aid or to make them as comfortable as possible. Follow these instructions carefully.
- Remain Calm - Stay calm and be extra careful around your companion. When animals are in pain they sometimes react negatively towards anyone trying to help and could scratch or bite.
