In the case of an emergency, please do not hesitate to call us so we can advise you on your pet’s particular emergency.

If your pet needs urgent medical attention during our business hours, please call our clinic to be advised of the necessary next steps to ensure your pet receives the appropriate treatment.

If our hospital is closed, we always have a veterinarian on-call to assist you. Even if the emergency is not life-threatening, your pet may need medical attention prior to an available appointment time.
