Why keep an emergency contact list?
In an emergency, minutes spent searching for a phone number are minutes lost. A simple, up-to-date contact list — kept somewhere easy to find and saved in your phone — lets you and anyone caring for your pet act quickly and reach professional help. This tool helps you assemble one; it is an organisational aid, not medical advice.
For background on what to include and why, see the pet emergency contact list guide and the pet emergency checklist.
