What should I bring to the emergency clinic?

The answer

Bring your pet in a secure carrier or on a lead, plus the items that help the team most. These are any packaging or a photo of something swallowed, a list of current medicines as written on their labels, vaccination and health records if you can get them quickly, your identification, and a way to pay. A charged phone is useful too. Ask the clinic on the phone whether they want anything else, and do not delay leaving to gather items.
