Marty and Laura take a deep dive into what does and does NOT constitute an emergency for your pet.

"Your dog scratching at his ears, not an emergency. You can wait. Cat can't urinate. That is an emergency," Marty says.

With the nationwide difficulty finding and accessing emergency services for our pets, a little bit of knowledge can save you an enormous amount of time, grief and frustration.

From bloat to dog fight to bloody stools, we take you through the details of what can and can't be managed at home.
