We have been experiencing an increased case load, which may extend your wait time.
If you have been waiting longer than the doctor stated, please call us for an update.
How long is the wait for emergency service?
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, wait times for emergency services are extended. We are still providing quality care, however due to the nature of curbside services, everything is taking just a bit longer.
Wait time is solely dependent on the severity and number of emergencies waiting. If you have been waiting longer than the doctor stated, please call us for an update.
In order to ensure that every pet has the best chance at a good outcome, your pet will be assessed when they arrive to determine the severity of their medical condition.
Should there be a wait, pets will be seen by a veterinarian in order of priority number.
Thank you for your patience.
