Do Call Us if You Think Your Pet is in an Emergency Situation
If you notice what could be an emergency, do not waste precious time filling out our online form or evaluating whether or not your pet is really having suffering—call us! The safest course of action is to always seek veterinary attention first and foremost. In the instance that your best friend appears to not be feeling well and you bring them in and it turns out to only be a mild stomach ache, no harm has been done.
