Emergency? Call us first.
We triage every emergency and handle the full range of urgent care, major surgeries, and specialty consultations in-house. The only times we refer out are for overnight hospitalization or true 24/7 critical monitoring — and when we do, we can connect you directly with an ER doctor to save time at intake.
What we handle in-house
A lot of what gets sent to an emergency room can be handled by your urgent-care vet — usually faster and at a fraction of the cost.
Vomiting & diarrhea
Including bloody, persistent, or recurrent — with same-day fluid therapy, anti-nausea care, and in-house diagnostics.
Allergic reactions
Hives, facial swelling, vaccine reactions, and bee stings — quickly assessed and treated.
Lacerations & wounds
Wound cleaning, suturing, abscess drainage, and follow-up care for cuts and bite wounds.
Toxin exposure
Call us first — many ingestions can be safely managed with same-day decontamination and monitoring, without an ER trip.
Limping & acute pain
Soft-tissue injuries, sprains, dislocations, and pain control — with x-rays in-house.
Eye & ear emergencies
Acute eye pain, sudden discharge, foreign bodies, severe ear infections.
Why call us first.
Most “emergencies” can be handled in our urgent visit slots — same day, sometimes same hour. We also perform major emergency surgeries (including GDV, splenectomy, and C-sections) and bring board-certified specialists on-site when complex cases call for them. For the rare situation that needs overnight hospitalization or true 24/7 monitoring, we have a direct line to an ER doctor that lets us skip the standard intake queue. Coming to us first usually saves time at the ER, not loses it.
When do we refer to the ER
Two situations call for a 24/7 emergency hospital. We’ll always tell you honestly when that’s the case.
Overnight hospitalization
Pets that need IV fluids, continuous monitoring, or supportive care through the night, when we’re closed.
True 24/7 critical care
Unstable pets needing around-the-clock monitoring or oxygen support beyond what we can provide during business hours.
When we’re closed
Outside of our hours, these are the two closest 24/7 emergency hospitals.
Our hours: Mon–Thu 9 AM–6 PM · Fri 9 AM–5 PM · Sat 10 AM–2 PM · Sun closed.
For after-hours toxin exposure, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Hotline at (888) 426-4435 is also a great first call.
If something feels wrong, call us.
We triage every situation honestly. Most can be handled here — and we’ll tell you straight if it can’t.
