Our emergency clinic offers state-of-the-art emergency care for your four-legged family members and is equipped to provide hospitalization, specialized diagnostics, and complete surgical services. Specifically, this can include:

• Overnight monitoring, critical and intensive care
• Advanced patient monitoring and therapeutics (telemetry, oxygen and ventilator therapy) for emergency and critical care
• Canine and Feline blood and plasma transfusions
• In-house laboratory diagnostics, which give us immediate blood test results

Unlike your family veterinarian, we provide only emergency and specialty care, and do not offer any routine or preventative care such as vaccinations, annual exams, etc.

It is always best to call us ahead if you can, but we understand that in emergency situations, this is not always possible.

Please do not hesitate to bring your pet to our clinic for immediate attention if the situation does not allow time for you to call. 

We are open 7 days a week for 365 days a year to handle unexpected illness, injury and trauma. 

A veterinary emergency hospital is just like a human emergency department—it can be unpredictable. At all medical facilities, the most seriously wounded or most ill patients are treated first. This is known as "triage". 

Sometimes, the most seriously ill patients don't appear that way to the untrained eye. Pets may have severe organ dysfunction, internal damage or heart problems. This triage process may not be convenient, but this is the way we must function in order to fulfill our obligation to your pet, you and your family veterinarian. 

Cases will be prioritized based on medical need. You'll find a comfortable area for waiting and we will do our best to keep you updated regarding wait times and your pet's status. 

Yes, we will update your primary care veterinarian with your pet’s medical history and files to ensure seamless, integrated care.
