Medical emergencies can occur suddenly and without warning, so it's best to be prepared. A Pet First Aid Kit allows you to have important items available to care for your pet in one area. No one can be prepared for all emergencies, but it's still important to have the basics.

If the emergency is severe, get your pet to your local hospital as soon as possible.

Please be aware of this new scam! Never Venmo anyone without making sure it’s legitimate! Also always contact the facility that would be treating your pet.

Add this to the ever-growing list of ways scammers are preying upon your fears and creating a false sense of urgency that forces you to act before you think.

Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control says residents have received calls from scammers posing as Animal Care Officers and they're told their pet has been brought in needing emergency care. The caller must render a Venmo payment for the care to occur.

THIS IS NOT THE WAY IT WORKS.

1) CRAC&C does not offer emergency medical care.

2) All payments made to CRAC&C are done in-person and with a receipt.

Do not allow a scammer to make you act hastily. Slow down, hang up if you need to, and call the shelter directly.
