When you walk in
How an emergency visit works
Call on the way
Tell us whether it is a dog or a cat, their age and what is happening. We prepare while you drive.
Checked as soon as you arrive
The most critical patients are seen first, so you may still wait even if the waiting room looks quiet.
Stabilize and diagnose
Oxygen, fluids and pain relief as needed, then bloodwork, digital X-ray or ultrasound — all in-house.
Treatment plan and estimate
We explain what we have found, what we recommend, and what it will cost before we proceed.
Monitoring, or home
Patients who need continued care stay with us; most hospitalized patients are monitored overnight by a veterinary technician, with a veterinarian on call. Going home comes with clear written discharge instructions.
