What If My Pet is Having an Emergency?
If you think your pet is having an emergency, please call to let our team know about the situation. We also have a veterinarian on call to address emergency-related questions for current patients (seen within the last 12 months for an exam and vaccines). For after-hours or overnight emergencies, take your pet to the nearest emergency vet or see below for our recommended ER animal hospitals.
