The “Near Me” search feature on Google is a convenient way to find local Veterinary Clinics and Veterinary Emergency Hospitals in your vicinity any where.
Simply type in the business or service you’re looking for followed by ‘near me’ to get relevant results. For example, searching “animal clinics near me” will display nearby pet animal clinics/hospitals and emergency hospitals. Searching “emergency veterinarians near me” will bring up veterinarians who do emergencies.
As a pet owner it is your responsibility to take a few minutes, grab a pen and paper, write down vet phones numbers and emergency clinics in your area. Place these important numbers where they can be found when needed. Never wait for emergency to happen.
Establishing a relationship with your local veterinarian before you need a vet or emergency care will take the stress and pressure off you in scrambling when your pet becomes ill and time is critical.
WHEN WE STATE YOUR PET NEEDS A VET, THESE VETS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE WELFARE OF YOUR PET. PLEASE TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!
YOU must take responsibility and do the foot work of finding a animal clinic or emergency hospital.
Keep in mind, If you can find time to read your Facebook newsfeed, you can do a ” near me” search and have veterinarian information prepared ahead of time for your pets.
**The Vet Corner groups encourage members to establish a relationship with their local veterinarian, don’t wait until an emergency.**
