Not every health concern is life-threatening, but if your pet is in pain, distress, or showing unusual behavior, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Our veterinary team prioritizes emergencies as needed throughout the day, so please call ahead when possible. This gives us time to prepare and helps us treat your pet as quickly and efficiently as we can.
