Emergency/Critical Care

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

Our Emergency team is always available, day or night. We are open on holidays and weekends. If you have a concern, please call or come in. The patients in our ICU are never left unattended and you can rest assured that as your pet recovers, he or she will be monitored at all times.

What to do in an Emergency:

Call or Come In:

7425 Greenhaven Dr. Sacramento, CA 95831
916-231-4445

 

What to Do if You Suspect Your Pet Has Eaten Something Toxic

Poison Control Centers:

  • ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center: 888-426-4435
  • Pet Poison Helpline: 800-213-6680

Gather up any packaging or remains of anything that was eaten or suspected as having been eaten! This step will help speed up the diagnosis. Please don’t be shy; if it was marijuana or any other embarrassing (or illicit) product, please be honest with our team; it will speed up diagnosis and treatment.

The team in our emergency and critical care department works with other specialists and your primary care veterinarian to provide the comprehensive care your pet needs. Our emergency veterinarians 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 veterinary technicians.
