Our dog was ill forcing us to drive to Fishers, to receive incorrect diagnosis. We were fornuate, our local vet was able to correctly diag & treatment on Monday. We missed work & ended up with huge bills.

Animals need access to emergency veterinary care within a reasonable amount of time, and the closest emergency facility is an hour away.

My pets deserve a chance to live when injured or urgently sick after hours. We used to have coverage. We need it still!

Agree 100% There is no one to call on the weekends or in the evenings if there is an emergency! There needs to be something set up, vet students from Purdue could get credit for something like this.

We should not have to search for a vet and drive an hour for an emergency situation!!!

As a dog owner, I've made the emergency trip out of town more than once. Our oldest is 14 now & I constantly worry about logistics if he would need help outside of M-F, 9-5 vet hours.

I just moved to the area and gave three pets. Not having an emergency vet nearby is a very scary reality if the worst ever happens

I have had to take both my dogs to emergency vets in Fishers. And unfortunately I had to take one to Fishers to be put down. That was the hardest drive there and then the longest drive home without my fur baby.

We had a Beloved cat. All he wanted was love. He had a problem over a weekend & couldn't be seen for couple days. His crying in pain was heartbreaking. He made it to appointment, but not in time for help. His loss is felt every day. I had 2 dogs when we had 24 hr vet care. One we got to 17 yrs old. The other had epilepsy I adjusted phenobartitol daily for seizures. That emergency Vet hospital partnered with me to get her to 18 yrs old. Yes, with a couple 2 am Vet calls & visits.

Considering that emergency rooms for humans are available at all times, it would be beneficial to have similar animal care services. Animals are indeed important.

If there is an emergency, every minute counts. Our pets may not make to 30 to 40 minutes to drive to an emergency vet.

Recently had to take my cat from Kokomo to WESTFIELD in the middle of the night because it was the only place open. Would love another option that's closer to home. Driving 40 minutes one way just be be treated like trash isn't that convenient.

ER’s for our people, great, but what about our beloved pets who often kind are not only companions, but like children to not only be elderlyj to growing families. Come on Kokomo, this has been an ongoing problem since I’ve lived here for 25 years. Granite, emergency vets are expensive, but pet owners would gladly pay the price to save theirj beloved pets.

Trying to drive fast with a crying and/or dying pet an hour or more is not only unsafe but excruciating for you and your pet. Rotating emergency teams or triage care would not only be quicker but perhaps not as costly. Local vets could charge a premium for emergency calls but maybe not charge the same expense as the emergency hospitals in Carmel, Fishers, and Indy. We have taken 4 cats at separate times and had to pay several hundred upfront, just to be seen, totaling $1200-3,000 each animal.
