Fast, responsible caretaking is critical when an emergency occurs. Our skilled technicians and knowledgeable veterinarians work together seamlessly to quickly respond to your pet. During the emergency procedure, we will keep you informed of all treatment options and related costs so you remain up-to-date and involved with your pet’s care. Please call our office the moment an accident happens. When given notice before you and your pet arrive, we can prepare for all services that might be necessary. Some of the emergency services we provide include:

  • Laboratory testing
  • Pain management
  • Pet X-rays
  • Setting broken bones
  • IV fluid therapy

There are some emergency services that we do not provide, such as 24 hour care. However, call us right away when an emergency occurs and we can direct you to the best place for care for your pet. Below are a few of the nearest emergency clinics in case you have an emergency when our clinic is not currently open.

Urgent care services We have urgent care appointments available for those situations that are not life-threatening but still require prompt attention. If you feel like an urgent care appointment is necessary for your pet, please call our office and we will arrange a time at which they can be seen. We see pets for any of the following crises requiring urgent attention:

  • Critical injuries or trauma (car accident, broken bone, animal attack)
  • Diarrhea or vomiting that continues for long periods of time
  • Excessive bleeding
  • Fever, shock, or depression
  • Poison ingestion (suspected or observed)
  • Severe pain, collapse, or more than one seizure within 24 hours
  • Trouble breathing or continual coughing

If you think your pet may have ingested poisonous items and our clinic is not currently open, we advise you to call the Poison Control Center 1-800-213-6680.
