Emergencies

Emergency Care

If your pet needs urgent medical attention, our clinic is available any time during open hours. 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. We have your pet’s health and safety in mind! We will make sure to squeeze you in between scheduled appointments.
