When your pet is sick or hurt, we're here to help. Walk-ins are welcome during our open hours, we do our best to fit in same-day emergencies, and pets with urgent problems are seen first.
Signs that your pet needs care right away include trouble breathing, collapse, bleeding that won't stop, repeated vomiting, straining to urinate, suspected poisoning and any kind of trauma. If you can, call us on your way so our team can be ready.
What to Do in a Pet Emergency
Staying as calm as possible helps you and your pet. These simple steps can make getting care faster and safer:
- Call ahead if you can, so our team knows you're coming
- Handle your pet gently, since even friendly pets may bite when in pain
- Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth to a bleeding wound
- Bring packaging from any medication, plant or product your pet may have eaten
- Don't give human medications or try to make your pet vomit unless a veterinarian tells you to
What to Expect When You Walk In With an Urgent Problem
Walk-ins are welcome during our open hours, and pets are seen based on how urgent their condition is, not just arrival time. When you arrive, a team member will check your pet quickly to understand how serious the problem is. Pets with life-threatening conditions such as trouble breathing or heavy bleeding are seen first.
Once your pet is stable, your vet will examine them and may recommend tests such as bloodwork or X-rays to find the cause. We'll explain what we find and talk through treatment options with you before moving forward.
