Do you know what to do before walking into the emergency vet?

Most pet parents don’t think about it until it’s too late. You’re stressed, scared, and possibly facing big decisions without knowing what to expect.

In this episode, Amy sits down with emergency vet Dr. Tyler Sugrrman-McGiffin to break down what happens behind the scenes in an ER, how emergency care differs from general practice, and how you can be better prepared for the unexpected.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:

• How to emotionally and financially prepare for an emergency vet visit
• Why ER vets sometimes seem “all business” and how that helps your pet
• What decisions you may have to make when every second counts
