Our Emergency Vet Care Capabilities
From sudden illness to trauma, our hospital is staffed and ready to assess, stabilize, and treat your pet emergency.
Emergency Vet Care Services & Capabilities
The moment you arrive, our team evaluates your pet's condition and begins stabilizing care right away if needed. The most critical cases are seen first.
On-site CT, digital X-ray, ultrasound, and endoscopy give our team detailed, real-time imaging to diagnose internal injuries, organ issues, and soft tissue trauma without delay. Our in-house lab also runs blood work, urinalysis, and screening panels for conditions like parvovirus, thyroid disorders, and pancreatitis.
When surgery is necessary, our team moves from diagnosis to our on-site operating room – equipped with electro-cautery to control bleeding during procedures. We also treat major wounds, lacerations, and significant trauma that require advanced surgical care.
For pets facing significant blood loss or clotting issues, we perform on-site blood and plasma transfusions when they're needed most. Transfusion capability stays on hand around the clock.
Pets who need help breathing during critical treatment are placed on our ventilator system for life support. This equipment stays on-site and ready, for the moments when every breath counts.
Critical patients are continuously tracked for heart rate, oxygen levels, blood pressure, and other vital signs throughout treatment and recovery. Real-time monitoring means changes in your pet's condition are caught early, not after the fact.

Yes. You're welcome to call ahead so we know you're coming, but you can also walk in — no appointment or referral needed.
Every visit starts with an exam, which has its own fee, so we can understand what your pet needs. From there, we'll walk you through a treatment plan and a clear estimate before anything moves forward. If cost is a concern, we'll talk through financing and payment options together before you decide on care. We accept flexible financing options like CareCredit, All Pet Card, ScratchPay, and Affirm.

We see every pet based on the urgency of their condition, with the most critical cases seen first. If your pet is able to wait, our staff will monitor them carefully for any changes and keep you updated on timing. We understand that wait times can be frustrating, and will do our best to see your pet as soon as possible.
