- Mention go-now signs: bloat/swollen belly, collapse, trouble breathing, seizures, suspected poisoning.
- Ask whether to come straight in and how long they'll be open.
- Confirm the address and any emergency entrance.
Prepare before you go
- Note the main signs, when they started, and anything your dog may have eaten.
- Bring any product packaging if poisoning is possible, plus a medication list.
- Secure your dog safely for transport; support an injured dog and minimise movement.
- Bring a muzzle or towel if a painful dog might bite, and keep them calm and warm.
When it's an emergency
Consider a swollen hard belly with retching, collapse, trouble breathing, suspected poisoning, a long or repeated seizure, or heavy bleeding as a go-now emergency. See our bloat/GDV, poisoning, and heatstroke guides for the warning signs.
