| Pets do bite and will scratch. |
| Do not hug the animal to your chest to comfort the pet. Keep the animal away from your face. |
| Muzzle dogs and wrap cats and smaller animals in a blanket or towel. |
| Do NOT stress the animal. Go slow and be gentle. |
| Improvise a stretcher using blankets, boards, throw rugs, toboggans, etc. |
| If possible, apply a splint to immobilize joints above and below fractures. |
