What to Expect During an Emergency Visit

When you arrive, your pet will be evaluated by our medical team and triaged based on the severity of their condition. Patients experiencing life-threatening emergencies are treated first to ensure they receive immediate care.

Once your pet has been assessed, we’ll discuss our findings, recommended diagnostics or treatments, expected costs, and next steps so you can make informed decisions about your pet’s care.
