How to Handle a Pet Emergency

Sometimes the unthinkable occurs, and your pet needs urgent veterinary care. Our Harrisburg emergency veterinarians want to offer some advice to those forced to handle such an obstacle.

Should you find yourself handling a pet emergency, here are a few pointers:

Take a Deep Breath. Try to remain calm and pay attention to signs of distress in your pet's unique circumstances.
Assess the Problem. Look for visible signs of injury and call your vet if urgent. Depending on the nature of your pet's situation, you may have some time to think about your next steps.
Is it Time to Get in the Car? If your pet is bleeding or has a broken bone, it is time to find an open emergency veterinarian. Every circumstance is different.
Call an Urgent Care for Pets Near You. Our Harrisburg emergency care service is available during regular business hours. However, we do list two alternative options for after-hours emergencies.

Don’t wait to address an urgent situation. If you need assistance our team is dedicated to providing your pet with the care they need. Contact us today at (717) 652-1270.

Very friendly and handled my bearded dragon with care.

Rebekah Hanak

We looked everywhere for a vet to have a look at my very sick mouse and Dauphin County Animal Hospital was the only one who would see her on a Saturday. The front desk was fast and they were very friendly. We saw Dr. Balmer and she was amazing. I recommend this place 100% and will take all my mice/other pocket pets here if they need vet care in the future!

Wally and I had a great experience. As a first time cat owner, I had a lot of questions. They answered all my questions and made my little man feel comfortable at his first visit!Thanks!!
