Do you know where to go?

We have a 24 hour vet in town and it's about 5 minutes away. I have only had to use it once so far (Thank goodness).

Yup, it's about 2 min. away! VERY expensive of coarse. Thankfully they have been helpful with phone info for my sick kitties!!!

Yes - my vet is an emergency vet and she is on call for her clients 24/7. She lives an hour from me and 30 minutes from her clinic. I would always try her first but if not there's an emergency clinic 10 minutes drive from my house but I prefer not to go there

Yes, there are three within 10-20 minutes of my house and I know where they are. I've only been to one of them, though, about 20 minutes away. It wasn't for my own cats, but a foster kitty. We made a number of visits there because this particular e-vet is also a critical care center for sick/injured pets and my foster kitty had a broken paw that required surgery to repair.

The nearest e-vet is about 5 minutes away. I believe my regular vet has an on-call doc all the time, but the e-vet clinic is closer so it would depend on what the emergency was. If they got sick and needed to go, but it was the weekend, then I would try my reg vet first to see if they would come in. If it was urgent I would just go to the e-vet.

We don't have a 24 hr emergency near me. However the 2 vet clinics in town have Dr on call.

The closest ER vets to me are both an hour away.

We have one 10 miles away. Phone number and address are on a magnet on the fridge, and the number is programmed into my cell phone.

Yes I know too! My vet surgery is open 365 days a year and have a 24 hour emergency service and are about 5 minutes down the road! Number is also on speed dial if something ever happens I know that I can be on the phone in seconds even if I am a bit panicked! Good question to ask!

Yeppers, never been there though, and I hope to keep it that way!

when I got my cats, I noticed my vet's office had a listing for after hours ER services (my vet's open 7 days a week, but not 24 hours per day). I decided to do a dry run, and first time round turned west rather than east on Ogden and got myself a little lost. The next week I had to take my boy in on a Sunday night and was very very happy I had done the dry run so I knew exactly where to go. It's about 10 minutes away, unless traffic is horrendous. Sure, the ER vets are expensive, but I figure I'm paying for availability of both expertise and equipment at odd hours.
