The Pet E.R. Guide allows pet owners to plan ahead and care for their pets in the event of an emergency, even one that occurs in the middle of the night. It includes state-by-state listings of round-the-clock and after-hour veterinary clinics, complete with names, addresses, phone/fax numbers, and hours of operation. Other chapters cover what questions to ask when first contacting the emergency facility; veterinary teaching hospitals for the pet that needs special assistance; advice on emergency and evacuation planning; a records section for documenting a pet’s health and vet information; and to how to maintain a pet-safe home. This important chapter includes the ASPCA’s list of the ten most poisonous plants, lists of toxic and nontoxic plants, and the 24-hour phone number for NAPCC, the National Animal Poison Control Center. With this book, pet lovers can rest a little easier, knowing they’ll be fully prepared if an emergency occurs.

Outstanding book idea! Now I don't have to look up information, before we travel, it's all in the book. Didn't know there were that many 24 hour and after hour Vets. Lots of other info.

This a wonderful find for any pet owner! It is unique and offers a variety of helpful information when traveling with your pet 'near or far'. If you ever traveled with your pet and needed veterinary help, you know what a terribly helpless feeling it is, especially if you are in a strange place. It is even more difficult and worse, when it is after-hours, on a weekend, or on a holiday (on the road or even at home). This book provides great information on over 700 facilities just like that. It also has ASPCA Poison Control info 'their number, toxic & non-toxic plant lists, etc.', as well as evacuation info should you be traveling in parts where weather conditions might require you to evacuate. A great book to keep with you at home and in your travels. It is comprehensive and a great idea!
