Most emergency veterinary clinics accept walk-ins for true emergencies, but calling ahead helps them prepare for your arrival and may reduce wait times. In life-threatening situations, go directly to the nearest facility.

Bring your pet's medical records or medication list if available, a form of payment (credit card, CareCredit), any substance your pet may have ingested, and a carrier or leash. If your pet is injured, use a blanket or towel for safe transport.
