ON-CALL VETERINARIAN: HOW TO REACT TO AN ANIMAL EMERGENCY?

 

The unexpected never gives warning: a late injury, a sudden poisoning, or a health condition that deteriorates in the middle of the night or on a Sunday... Knowing where to quickly find an on-call veterinarian is vital information for any pet owner.

ServicesPourAnimaux has enhanced the features of its "Animal Veterinarian & Osteopath" category to immediately connect you with available animal emergency services near you.

A veterinary emergency and calling an on-call veterinarian near you requires a complex organization with 24-hour veterinary care, which is a legal obligation managed differently depending on the region (integrated service, shared on-call service, or dedicated animal emergency clinics).

A golden rule to know is to never travel with an injured or suffering animal without first calling the on-call veterinary service. Whether you call your regular veterinarian or a specialist on-call service, the phone call is crucial for pre-diagnosis and preparing the team before your arrival.

In times of panic when you can't find your veterinary clinic's contact information or you're traveling, a simple reflex can save you: dial 3115. 3115 is a national animal emergency number, free of charge and available at the cost of a local call, that connects you directly to the emergency veterinary service in your area.

ServicesPourAnimaux advises you to prepare now for a possible animal emergency by saving the phone number of your usual veterinary clinic and the national emergency number 3115. Indeed, time is often the critical factor in saving a pet.
