Frequently asked questions
- What types of animals does AmbuVet Pet Ambulance transport?
- AmbuVet transports domesticated dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. While they do not directly handle large animals like horses or cattle, they can provide referrals to regional veterinary specialists for such cases. The team is uniquely prepared for felines, canines, and exotic species.
- Do AmbuVet technicians provide medical diagnosis or treatment during transport?
- No, AmbuVet's Licensed Veterinary Technicians do not diagnose, perform surgery, prescribe medication, or euthanize. Their role is to transport the pet comfortably to the veterinary hospital of your choice. They take preliminary vital signs and relay this information to the veterinarian, preparing them for the pet's arrival.
- How does AmbuVet handle the transport of aggressive or oversized pets?
- AmbuVet staff are trained in restraint methods, carrying muzzles and rabies poles to minimize injury risk to both pet and person. They do not use sedatives, as chemical restraint can alter diagnostic tests. For cats, they employ Kevlar gloves and a systemic, humane strategy to secure them into crates with care.
- What is "Transport Tuesday" and what services does it include?
- Transport Tuesday is a premium pick-up and drop-off service for scheduled procedures or outpatient treatments. AmbuVet arranges admission, discharge, and care, including medications, with your pet's care provider. After the visit, they return the pet to your location. This service offers discount fares for advance scheduled trips.
- Does AmbuVet Pet Ambulance offer telehealth services for pets?
- Yes, AmbuVet provides pet telehealth services, including secure video calls. Pet owners can request a video call for a wellness check with their pet before scheduling a pick-up. This service allows for video consultations or general support, available 24/7.
