I don't like it. The closest emergency service is 40 min from me. A friends cat died in their arms out of panic heart failure trying to make the trip. Honestly this is not humane. If you have that long or more of a drive the pet does not deserve to be put through that. I wish there were a way to force all pet clinics to provide a service.
I heard a person turned away at the door because it was closing time. She pleaded that they were suffocating (smoke inhalation?). If they were not going to be able to survive after a trip to the emergency then the least that could/should have been done would be put them out of their misery. A friend refuses to work for any clinic now because she could not turn someone away.
I do not know when or why this seems to have changed universally overnight. It is not right.
