Emergency vets busy this holiday season; Who's looking out for you?

The number of emergency vet visits escalate every year around the holidays. And when time is crucial, there's no waiting for regular business hours. You need to act and you need to do it quickly.

So what would you do if this holiday season your pet needs medical attention? Do you know where to go?

It's important to keep a list of pet emergency clinics on hand that are open 24 hours, 7 days a week. That way when a visit is needed at night, on a holiday, or on a weekend, you won't have to waste time searching or calling around to find out who can help.

Keep in mind that an emergency fund is also wise to have saved away for such times as well. For a vet to simply examine a pet can cost $100 or more.

Here are a list of local clinics that can help save your pet's life, if you're ever in an emergency situation.
