Appointments
Emergency
While calling ahead does help us prepare for your arrival, no appointment is needed for your pet to receive emergency care. A member of our team will triage your pet upon arrival to evaluate his or her condition. Pets are then seen by a doctor in order of need; the most critical cases will get immediate assistance. If all waiting pets are equally stable, they will each be seen in order of arrival.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as you wait in our ER. Much like a human emergency room, we do everything we can to treat all pets as soon as possible. If other pets are being seen before yours, they are likely experiencing a potentially life-threatening medical issue that requires immediate attention.
Specialty
To visit with one of our board-certified specialists, please call in advance to schedule an appointment. You may also be asked for a referral from your family veterinarian. When you arrive at your appointment with your pet, please bring any related medical history as well as the bottles of any current medications.
First the specialist will evaluate your pet. Then with your permission, diagnostic procedures may be performed if needed. Our specialist will discuss the diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis with you, and you’ll have the chance to ask him or her any questions. If you think of a question after you leave our hospital, don’t worry—you can call and ask at any time. All information including diagnostic results, diagnosis and treatment decisions will be shared with your family veterinarian. You, your veterinarian and our staff will work together to devise a treatment plan that’s best for you and your pet.
Resources
When you’re concerned about your pet and looking for answers, it’s natural to turn to the internet.

We’ve gathered these accurate resources to help you understand your pet’s condition and the various programs available to you.
