A pet ER, or critical service facility for animals, provides emergency care for dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters and other small reptiles. For patients requiring critical care and constant monitoring, there is a 24 hour Intensive care unit. These units are fully staffed with registered and trained staff members many of which are also certified by top colleges for critical and emergency animal care.The doctors’ teams also include certified specialists.
The animal ER or pet ER facilities have state-of-the-art monitoring devices like well-equipped labs for complete blood work, remote heart monitoring and direct blood pressure monitoring.
Pet owners can either walk-in to these units during emergencies or they can call ahead. The staff can also provide bereavement support to owners and there is facility for putting small, terminally ill animals out of pain through euthanasia. Pet ER facilities can indeed be a blessing to pet owners and the animals suffering from critical injuries or diseases.
