The first that caught my attention was simple advice: Know your dog. Prince’s many years of experience that the book omitted, so let me start by sharing those. I took copious notes at first, before realizing much of the information was also available in a pamphlet, “Pet Emergency Care Handbook,” which we received at the presentation. I’d like to share with you some of what I learned. I would love more opportunities like this one. And perhaps the fantastic turnout will encourage other local vets to do similar sessions. So, on behalf of my dogs, who deserve an owner who doesn’t trust their health to fate, I am grateful for the recent presentation. I am the kind of person who keeps putting off gathering this information, maybe trusting luck, which even I know is stupid, or maybe thinking that if and when one of my dogs becomes ill or injured, I will be near enough to a vet during office hours to get the medical care needed. Prince gave to us, complete with educational videos, and maybe you are the kind of person to actually avail yourself of it. Sure, there are dozens of websites with the kind of information Dr. Prince’s gentle old Golden Retriever, Bradley, had barely enough room to stand or lie down when he was helping with the demonstrations. Kudos also to the responsible pet owners of McMinnville.
It was informal, informative and interesting. Reed Prince and the staff of Companion Pet Clinic for their excellent, and free, presentation last month on emergency pet care. With the publisher’s permission, we reprint it here. News-Register columnist Nancy Carlson surprised us with a wonderful summary of our March educational seminar on pet emergencies in the April 12 edition.
