Emergency/Critical Care

Our Emergency and Critical Care team is on site 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

Our Emergency veterinarians and board certified Critical Care veterinarians are available 24/7/365. The patients in our ICU are never left unattended and you can rest assured that as your pet recovers, he or she will be cared for at all times. Our team is always available, day or night. We are open on holidays and weekends. If you have a question or a concern, please call or come in.

The team in our critical care departments work in conjunction with other specialists, and with both you and your regular veterinarian, to provide the comprehensive care your pet needs. Our board certified emergency and critical care specialists have extensive training in a complete range of emergency and critical care services and are supported by a team of experienced emergency veterinarians and technicians.
