Emergencies

We are unable to provide emergency services to non-client/patients.  If we have never seen your pet before, please take them to the nearest, staffed 24 hour emergency hospital. 

We do not provide any after hours Emergency Care. Any pets requiring after hour emergency care will need to utilize one of the nearby 24 hour Emergency Hospitals.  We recommend calling prior to arrival for their procedures and so they can be expecting you:
