Step 1: Call Ahead If You Can
We understand that when your dog or cat needs urgent care, it can be challenging to call us ahead of arrival, but it is beneficial to our team and your pet if you do, because it allows us to prepare for your dog or cat's situation.

Step 2: Get to our Urgent Care Department as soon as possible.
Upon your arrival, you will be directed to a seat or treatment area. Your pet will be triaged by one of our team members before a full examination is performed by a veterinarian.

Step 3: Assessment & Treatment Planning
Once your dog or cat's assessment has been completed, our highly trained veterinarians will develop a treatment plan so your pet will receive the best possible treatment.
We will keep your primary care veterinarian updated with your companion's medical history to ensure seamless, integrated care that meets your pet's needs.
