Pet First Aid Decision Tree

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

This page gives pet owners a clear path when their dog or cat shows an unexpected symptom. You pick the pet type and the main complaint, then follow a short branching set of questions.

Each path ends with a plain recommendation: go to an emergency vet now, try home care with monitoring, or call your regular vet within a day or two. The page also includes a printable fridge card, a poisoning substances list, a home first-aid kit checklist, and a script for calling the vet office.

Start by choosing Dog or Cat. Then pick the symptom that matches what you see.
