Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hot Weather Hazards: How to Keep Your Pet Safe This Summer
Q: So that's still going? Are mobile clinics and charitable organizations like DSPCA/Blue Cross still operating to help with after-hours or urgent cases?
Yes, mobile clinics run by NSPCA (formerly DSPCA) and Blue Cross operate at scheduled times; they require advance contact and donations, and while they don't offer full hospital-level care, they provide essential and affordable basic care when needed.
Hot Weather Hazards: How to Keep Your Pet Safe This Summer
Q: Can I just ask you about that, in that most people will have a vet for their pet, but the service might not always be open. Is there such a thing as an emergency vet?
Emergency veterinary services exist as 24-hour clinics and mobile services; owners should contact their local vet to get directed to the right after-hours option, and dedicated emergency clinics have been set up to provide continuous care when regular clinics are closed.
