Emergency Pet Care
around Arizona

Let's face facts, outdoor activities, even those conducted on city trails, involve some level of risk. It is our responsibility as the caretaker of our dog(s) to be ready to help them should an emergency situation arise while in the field. A good place to start is to learn Pet First-aid and CPR and to carry first-aid supplies with you at all times. Beyond learning these vital emergency skills it is a wise idea to always carry contact information for the nearest source of professional help to the location you are hiking. Some outdoor emergencies will require a trip to the vet even if you have administered aid while on the trail. Having this information clearly written out and on your person will save you precious time once you get your dog into the closest vehicle and you are on your way to civilization. The list below has been put together to help all traildog owners locate these emergency options more easily. Please feel free to use it on every outdoor adventure you share with your four-legged hiking partner.

**Although we try to keep this list up to date please verify all info. before you rely on it. Neither the webmaster or any CHCoA member is responsible for any inaccurate phone numbers, addresses or directions. Clinics listed were chosen based on their proximity to known outdoor recreation areas. Where possible at least one 24 hour clinic and one regular clinic have been listed.**

This section is still being worked on as of Sept. 2008. Thank you for your patience. If you have a clinic you want to see added please contact Jamie D - jdeben@hotmail.com
