Pet Emergency & Urgent Care FAQs
What qualifies as a pet emergency?
A pet emergency includes any sudden illness or injury that requires immediate medical attention. Common emergencies include trauma from accidents, severe allergic reactions, difficulty breathing, ingestion of toxins, and sudden, severe pain. If you are unsure whether your pet’s condition is an emergency, it is always best to contact us or bring your pet in for evaluation.
What should I do if my pet has an emergency after hours?
If your pet has an emergency outside our regular business hours, we recommend contacting a nearby 24/7 animal emergency hospital. Their contact information is listed on our website for your convenience.
Can I walk in for emergency care, or do I need to make an appointment?
A: We accept walk-ins for emergencies and urgent care during our normal business hours. However, please call us ahead of time so we can prepare for your arrival and provide immediate care.
How can I prepare for a pet emergency?
Being prepared for a pet emergency involves knowing the location and contact information of your nearest emergency veterinary clinic, keeping a pet first aid kit at home, and being aware of common household items that can be toxic to pets. It’s also helpful to have your pet’s medical records easily accessible.
What information should I provide when I call about a pet emergency?
When calling about a pet emergency, provide your name, your pet’s name and breed, the nature of the emergency, any symptoms your pet is experiencing, and your estimated time of arrival. This information helps us prepare for your visit and provide the best possible care.
Will my pet need to stay overnight if they receive emergency care?
The need for an overnight stay depends on the severity of your pet’s condition. In some cases, pets may need to be monitored closely or receive ongoing treatment. If overnight care is necessary, we will discuss this with you and make arrangements with a 24/7 emergency animal hospital if needed.
How much does emergency pet care cost?
The cost of emergency pet care varies depending on the nature and severity of the condition, as well as the treatments required. We will provide you with an estimate before proceeding with any treatments. Visit our payments page to learn about our payment options.

What should I bring with me to the emergency vet?
When bringing your pet for emergency care, try to bring any relevant medical records, a list of current medications, and information about the incident or symptoms. Having this information handy can help expedite the treatment process.
