Important Tips for Pet Emergencies
A pet emergency can happen at any time. It is important to have the number of the nearest emergency veterinary clinic ready. At night, on weekends and public holidays, the Universitäres Tierspital Zürich is the primary contact for dogs, cats and small animals in Canton Zurich.
Stay calm and secure your pet. Avoid hasty movements that could further stress the animal. Call the clinic in advance so the team can prepare for your arrival.
Common pet emergencies include poisoning, injuries after accidents, acute breathing difficulties, seizures and heatstroke in summer. If poisoning is suspected you can additionally call the poison hotline 145 (Tox Info Suisse) — 24/7 and free of charge.
