WE ARE CHANGING OUR EMERGENCY SYSTEM INTO A TRUE TRIAGE-BASED SYSTEM

We will no longer have suggested appointment times for urgent care situations

Please continue to call ahead to let us know that your pet is having an emergency and that you are on your way.

For our emergency hospital-evenings and weekends will be walk in only. Your pet will be triaged by a Veterinary technician, who will determine the level of care that is needed for your pet. Critical patients will be our top priority, and will be seen first.

This will increase wait times for patients that are triaged as non-urgent.

Thank you in advance for your understanding.
