Do you know where the closest emergency veterinary clinics are in your area? It is a good idea to have a list and keep it handy rather than having to come up with the information when you are panicked. Our regular veterinarian is available seven days a week and also has an emergency pager number, but that is exceptional. Animal emergencies always seem to occur at three o’clock in the morning. We also called all of our emergency vets when we lost our dog Cleo in case she had been injured and brought in by a Good Samaritan (actually, we called everyone but the emerg vets were in the top 10). Here is a list for my area:

Great info Stephanie! Also, some (very few I beleive) vets have an emergency pager. My vet (Towne and Country Animal Hospital in Stouffville) has a 24 hr pager, which is answered by the vet himself. Always important to be prepared ahead of time!
