We are a general practice here to serve as your family's primary veterinarian. While we try to accommodate as many patients as possible, we may refer you to a nearby Urgent Care or Emergency Hospital on a case-by-case basis. We promise this is in your pet's interest. If we know your pet's condition is going to require 24 hour hospitalization and/or the care of a specialist, we will send you there directly. It will minimize wait times and the added financial burden of having two exams/sets of diagnostics!
If we’re closed and it’s an emergency
Please do not email or text us and wait for a response. Head straight to the nearest ER — see the list of 24/7 hospitals at the bottom of every page.
