Emergencies can be stressful and overwhelming, but knowing how to respond can make all the difference. At the Veterinary Heart Institute, we are here to help you navigate through these critical moments with your pet. If your pet is experiencing a medical emergency, follow these steps:

  • Stay Calm: Keeping a clear head will help you make better decisions and provide the best care for your pet.
  • Contact the closest emergency clinic or go there immediately.
  • If you are uncertain, please contact us at (561) 670-0249 for assitance. Our team can guide you through the necessary steps
  • Provide First Aid if Necessary: Depending on the situation, you may need to administer basic first aid.
  • Transport Your Pet Safely: Ensure your pet is secure and comfortable during transport. Use a pet carrier or wrap them in a blanket to prevent further injury or stress.

Cardiac patients can be very fragile, the closest emergency clinic should be on your speed dial.
Please understand that our service is an outpatient service. Therefore for after hours, for your convenience, please find attached a list of emergency doctors and clinics.
