 PROPER TRANSPORTATION OF SICK ANIMALS
The methods used to transport the animal
will depend largely on its size and the
severity of its injuries. Whenever possible,
the position of the injured animal should be
maintained, and avoid altering it more than
it probably already is.

If a dog is injured, take it carefully and as

little as possible while transferring it to the
veterinarian. If it can still be moved, have it
thrown regardless of whether it is
comfortable and ideally keep it in a dog
carrier or cage. Transfer a dog that is heavily
injured on a hard, firm surface and do
everything you can to immobilize the part of
your body that may be injured.
 Move a dog safely

Use a pet carrier if possible. If you have a pet

carrier where you can safely put the dog, use it.
This is the best option to protect both the dog
and you. Encourage him to lie down and rest his
body on something soft to minimize movement
during transport.
Take a dog with a slight injury in
your arms. If you do not have a carrier, the
dog has only one limb injury and you can move
it safely using both arms, it is fine that you do.
Use one to support your chest and stretch the
other arm, so that you put it under the dog's
abdomen, just in front of its hind legs.
Move large dogs on a
stretcher. If there is another person
available to help you, use something stiff,
such as a board, to move a large dog or one
that is seriously injured. Put the dog aside,
being careful not to bend his body. If you
have something soft, put it as a wedge
along the dog's body to minimize
movement.
Use a soft material such as a
stretcher. If you do not have a rigid and
mobile surface, you can also use a blanket
or layer. Place the material under the dog in
a way that supports the entire length of its
body. If the material is not large enough to
hold the dog in place while moving, use
something to attach it to the stretcher.
