Health Emergencies

We understand that pets don’t always get sick on a schedule. That’s why our clinic offers same-day sick appointments whenever possible for non-emergency issues like vomiting, diarrhea, skin problems, limping, or changes in behavior.

However, please note that we are not equipped for true emergency care. In those cases, we recommend seeking immediate help from a 24-hour emergency veterinary hospital. If you’re unsure whether your pet’s condition is an emergency, give us a call — we’ll help guide you to the best and fastest care for your pet.

A pet health emergency includes, but is not limited to:

  • Extreme Pain
  • Difficulty Breathing
  • Seizures
  • Difficulty Urinating
  • Severe Bleeding
  • Extreme Lethargy
  • Coughing and Choking
  • Toxin Ingestion
  • Allergic Reaction
  • Trauma

In the event of an emergency, please take your pet to one of the following 24 hour emergency facilities.
