Vet Should Be An Option In 911
I believe that a pet emergency should be just as important as a person emergency take missy the teacup poodle from texas for example the cop who pulled the dog's owner to the side of the road said "its just a dog you can get another one" DISPICABLE

My dogs and cats are more kind, loving, trustworthy, etc. Than nearly everyone i have ever met in my entire life. Therefore, they absolutely deserve 911 services. In my opinion, most animals are more superior than most humans, despite Western beliefs of a hierarchy placing humans on top.

The ambulances in my area will respond for an animal. I imagine that is the case in most other places as they are usually private companies and you are going to pay them for their services either way. Think of it as kind of like taking a specialized cab.

My puppy is my child I pay more money for her than I do for myself I hate more humans than animals and think that all animals have the right for emergency care just like spaying and neutering should be cheaper humans have greed nowadays my parents were whipped into order while my arch nemesis gets more allowance a week than I get in a year and she is evil

We wouldn't even be in a position where we would have to care for, or treat NEARLY as many sick, injured or dying animals if people would spay and neuter their pets and take ownership and responsibility for them.

Like children, WE decide to bring them into our lives. THEREFORE, it is OUR responsibility to care for them, provide food, water, shelter and most importantly, a nurturing, LOVING environment where they are valued and respcted for the unique and special things they bring to our lives. Domesticated animals did not choose us, we chose THEM!

Back to the original question, YES, there should be resources in place where family pets and other companion animals can receive urgent and immediate medical attention if necessary. Should it be linked with 9-1-1? Absolutely NOT, however, do I think that cities and counties should place a greater importance on animals than they currently do.

I think your response is on the wrong side.

Humans are much more important to animals.We are higher in the food chain.A lion hunts a gazelle because it wants to eat it just like we eat animals because we can.Also,if the dg owner needed to be arrested, the arrest is most important and the dog second.

As much as I value and love all animals I would always put a persons life before that of an animal. I agree absolutely with keepmindok and his comments. Having the emergency number including vets would slow down the system and police and ambulance may not to get to people who are in need in time.

Human life takes precedence over an animals.
If we were futzing around trying to save a doomed kitten and a child perished because of that, then how would the parents of the baby feel.
Heads would roll.

No animals aren't equal to humans. Its tragic when a pet dies, or gets seriously injured. But 911 emergencies are for real human emergencies, not animals.
