Through no fault of your own or your dog’s, the chance is always there that it could be severely injured one day. You should have a smart plan already in place, should your dog ever need to be rushed to the animal hospital’s emergency section.

Knowing where the animal hospital is located. The emergency number to call ahead and the fastest, most direct route to the hospital should be known.

Even having a blanket set aside that is clean and available should you need to wrap your dog up in order to slow bleeding or transport it to your vehicle. Impalement or penetrating foreign objects are serious wounds and time is essential when your dog needs emergency attention from a veterinarian.
