Emergency & Urgent Care

We have at least one veterinarian and multiple nursing staff members on duty 7 days a week who are trained and equipped to handle any urgent care needed by your pet. Common emergencies range from a toenail trimmed too short to being attacked by a coyote or hit by a car. If you ever feel that your pet needs emergency treatment do not hesitate to call for guidance. Our staff will ask a few pertinent questions then advise you precisely what steps to take.

NOTE: We only treat dogs and cats, not exotic pets (small mammals, birds, or reptiles).
