Hit by Car

Keep the following things in mind if a car or some other vehicle hits your pet accidentally.

  • An animal in pain is more likely to bite. So muzzle it first with a scarf, belt, or towel, unless it’s vomiting. 
  • Get the animal off the road by gently sliding it onto a towel or blanket (these should be in your car's first-aid kit). 
  • Don't lift the animal. 
  • Make sure it’s warm, as it may be in shock. 
  • If it seems to have any broken bones, roll up a magazine or newspaper to use as a splint.
  • Visit the nearest vet.
