Done when

Case acceptance and a workable travel route have been checked.

Confirm emergency veterinary access before it is needed.

Who this is for

Pet owners; call ahead during an incident when possible.

Why this matters

Extended hours do not mean every species is accepted.

How to do it

An original activity to try, adapt or skip for your circumstances; outcomes are not guaranteed.

  1. Ask the regular clinic where it refers after hours.
  2. Confirm species, hours and emergency admission with that facility.
  3. Save the night route and a transport option that accepts the animal.
