- Do AmbuVet Techs treat pets during transport?
- No, AmbuVet Techs do not diagnose, perform surgery, prescribe, or euthanize. As Licensed Veterinary Technicians, their role is to transport the pet comfortably to the hospital of choice. They take preliminary vital signs and relay this information to the veterinarian to prepare for the emergency.
- How does AmbuVet Pet Ambulance handle aggressive animals?
- AmbuVet helps all animals, including aggressive ones. AmbuVet Techs carry muzzles and rabies poles and are trained in restraint methods to minimize injury risk to both pet and person. They do not use chemical restraints, as these may alter tests or treatments provided by the veterinarian.
- Can pet owners ride along with their pets during transport?
- In special cases, pet owners may be asked to ride separately if it improves the pet's circumstance. AmbuVet vehicles are equipped for animal care during transport, and passenger space is limited, depending on the specific situation. The primary focus is on providing the best care for the animal.
