You and your pet can wait in our comfortable waiting area before being shown to an exam room and we will do our best to keep you updated on your pet's status and wait time. Veterinary emergency clinics operate similar to an emergency department for people - wait times can sometimes be unpredictable.Īlthough we cannot predict which cases we will see on a day-to-day basis and when they will arrive, we do prioritize cases by medical need.

Once your pet has been examined, our highly trained veterinarians will create a customized treatment plan for your pet, and discuss cost, timeline, and any followup care needed with you before moving ahead.
