Local emergency facilities

Emergencies happen. Here's where to go.

Should you have an emergency when our office is not open, several facilities in our area are open 24/7. You do not need a referral from us and can go at any time of the day or night — they will send us a detailed report about your visit and any test results.

Emergencies may include

Collapse or seizures
Trauma (hit by car, falls)
Allergic reactions
Overheating / heat stroke
Repeated vomiting or retching
Pain, confusion or weakness
Shortness of breath
Poison or medication ingestion
Inability to stand or move

If you are unsure whether your pet needs care, it is better to be safe and have them evaluated.

Poison control

If your pet may have eaten something toxic, contact a poison control service right away — then call an emergency hospital.
