How much does a pet ambulance cost
Introduction
Pet ambulance services can be very expensive. But what’s more important? Your pet’s health, or the cost of getting them to the vet? It is understandable that people are worried about how much an ambulance service costs and if they will be able to afford it. However, we must put our pets’ health first and get them to a vet as soon as possible. There are ways around paying for an ambulance service for your pet and this article will explain how you can do so without having to worry about the cost.
Depending on the region, a pet ambulance can cost between £250 (less than US$300) and £600 (US$732) plus VAT ($97.69).
The cost of a pet ambulance can vary based on the region and type of services you choose. For example, if you’re traveling from London to New York with your dog in need of BLS care, then the price would be higher than if you were traveling within the same city.
The price also depends on how advanced your pet’s needs are—whether they require ALS or BLS services. A basic life support service is usually sufficient for animals with minor issues who don’t require advanced medical care. If your dog has a more serious condition that requires additional treatment, such as an infusion pump or ventilator support system, then an ALS service may be more appropriate for its particular needs.
The cost of a pet ambulance depends on the level of service you require.

Ambulance costs can be broken down into two categories: basic life support and advanced life support.
It is important to understand the difference between basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS). Basic life support is the more affordable option, but it does not include a lot of advanced equipment. In some cases, a pet may require only BLS for treatment. For example, if your cat or dog has suffered from a minor injury like stepping on a piece of glass and needs stitches, then BLS is all you’ll need.
Advanced life support offers many more services than basic life support does. For instance, ALS can be used on pets that have suffered major injuries like broken bones or even heart attacks so they can be rushed to the nearest clinic quickly while receiving proper care along the way. The cost can vary depending on what type of service you need performed by an ambulance company in your area; however most companies charge somewhere between $150-$300 per trip depending on distance traveled and time spent at destination address
Basic Life Support (BLS)
Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulances are the cheapest option and are equipped with oxygen, IV fluids, and a stretcher. BLS ambulances are staffed with a paramedic and a driver. They do not use advanced life support equipment such as intubation or IVs in the field.
- The cost of a basic life support ambulance ride is typically between $300 and $600 depending on how far away your pet needs to be transported.
- You may need to pay an additional fee if you want your dog transported inside rather than on top of the vehicle like luggage.
Advanced Life Support (ALS)
If your pet is suffering from a more serious injury or illness, it’s time to get an advanced life support (ALS) ambulance. ALS ambulances are equipped with the same equipment as basic life support (BLS) ambulances, but they also have additional features for dealing with more serious conditions.
The extra equipment and services available in an ALS ambulance include:
- Portable ventilator (breathing machine)
- Intravenous fluid therapy (IV fluids given through veins)
- Electronic monitoring of heart rate and blood pressure
If your dog or cat needs any of these services, a BLS ambulance won’t provide them—so you’ll need to upgrade to an ALS-equipped vehicle.
It is important to get your pet medical help as soon as possible
It is important to get your pet medical help as soon as possible. This is because the longer you wait, the more likely it is that your pet will suffer from lasting health problems or even die. The longer an animal goes without treatment and/or pain medication, the more severe their injuries and symptoms become. A delay in seeking treatment can also reduce the chances of a successful outcome.
Conclusion
There are also some situations where a pet ambulance can be used as a way to transport your pet to the veterinarian. Some veterinarians will not accept walk-ins, so you may have to arrange transportation if you need medical assistance for your pet.
