What are Emergency Care Conditions?

Emergency care conditions are issues that can rapidly and seriously impact your dog’s health. The products offered here are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. They are selected to help owners prepare for emergencies, support comfort and stabilization, or assist with care before or after veterinary treatment.

If you believe your giant breed dog may be experiencing an emergency condition, time matters. Contact a licensed veterinarian or emergency clinic immediately. These products are meant to support preparedness — not replace professional veterinary care.
