There is no way you should ever use your pet as an excuse to reschedule an interview unless you are applying at a veterinary. Sometimes you can't help the things that come up because they're not in your control. If you have no other options you can reschedule.
The moment you know you're not going to be able to make it to the interview you should give the company a call and speak to the person you're suppose to see. Tell them what's going on and the day and time you want to reschedule.
Don't use the word "emergency" unless it's really true and you have to. Try not to give any more information then you need to. Remain calm and if you can't reschedule let them know if it won't work out.
The worst thing you can do is to make up a phony emergency and then get caught in the lie at a later time. If you say that you have came down with a raging flu, making it impossible to come to a two p.m. interview, what will you say if you run into your interviewer at a local club that same evening? If you are willing to blow off a job interview for something so trivial you must not be very interested in working in the first place.
If the problem arose just before you left for the interview, say for instance, car problems, try to find an alternate way to get there, but do not wait too long to make the phone call if you either cannot or will be running late. Do not wait until ten minutes before your scheduled interview time to call and say that your car broke down on the Interstate.
If you absolutely know that you cannot find another ride to the interview, call and try to reschedule, but assure your interviewer that your car is reliable and that nothing like this has happened before.
You may think that it would be better to go into the your job interview with motor oil all over your head and clothes but it might just make you look unprofessional.
You only get one first impression so make sure it is a good one. However you present yourself when you meet your interviewer is how they will remember you. - 23802
