Preparation brings peace of mind. Accidents are rare, but knowing what to do helps you stay calm and act fast. Know this before you start: The pet’s vet name, address, and phone number. Any medications or allergies. The Pet Parent’s contact details and preferred emergency plan.

Being ready doesn’t mean expecting trouble — it means caring responsibly.
