Emergency & Appointments

When your pet needs prompt medical attention, knowing where to turn matters. Learn how to schedule urgent appointments, when to contact our team, and where to find trusted after-hours emergency care.

Need to Schedule a Visit or Get Care Quickly?

Whether your pet is due for a routine checkup, needs medical attention, or you’re dealing with an urgent concern, our team is here to help you determine the best next step.

Scheduling an Appointment

The best way to schedule an appointment is to call our clinic directly. A quick conversation allows us to learn more about your pet’s needs, answer questions, and help find the most appropriate appointment time.

If you prefer, you can also submit an appointment request online. We currently utilize scheduling and communication platforms such as Rapport, AllyDVM, Vetstoria, Shepherd, PetDesk, and ezyVet, but we often find that a phone call is the fastest and most effective way to get started.

Ways to Schedule

  • Call our clinic directly
  • Submit an online appointment request
  • Use available client communication and scheduling tools

Urgent & Same-Day Concerns

If your pet is sick, injured, or experiencing a health concern that cannot wait for a routine appointment, please call us as soon as possible. Same-day appointments may be available depending on the urgency of the situation and our schedule for the day.

In some cases, drop-off appointments may also be an option. Our team can help determine the best course of action when you call.

Not Sure What Your Pet Needs?

Some situations are clearly emergencies. Others are less obvious. If you’re unsure whether your pet should be seen immediately, scheduled for a future appointment, or evaluated by an emergency hospital, give us a call.

We’ll help point you in the right direction and make sure your pet receives the care they need as quickly as possible.
