What To Do in a Pet Emergency
If you know what to do and what to expect, handling any pet emergencies will be a smoother process for both you and your pet.
STEP 1
If Possible, Call Ahead
We know that it isn't always possible to call us in advance during an emergency situation. However, when manageable, it's best to let us know that you're coming. For less urgent circumstances, completing our New Patient form prior to arriving can save time as well.
STEP 2
Get To Our Hospital As Soon As Possible
When you arrive, you will be brought to an exam room and asked to complete our New Patient form if you haven't already done so. One of our veterinary technicians will triage your pet's condition and a veterinarian will complete a full examination.
STEP 3
Determine Treatment
Once your pet has been assessed, our highly trained veterinarians will devise a treatment plan to provide the best care possible. As an extension of your primary veterinary care, we will keep your veterinarian updated with your pet's medical history and files to ensure consistent and integrated care.
