Triage & Wait Time

The most CRITICAL patients will always be seen first. This extends to your pet too! Because we strive to provide every patient with the best, most comprehensive care available, sometimes a less critical patient will have to be seen after another. Your pet deserves our full attention, and we promise to give it as quickly as possible.

  • If your pet is critical, we will admit immediately.
  • If your pet is in pain, we will abate immediately.
  • Transfers will occur within 60 minutes of arrival.

If you have any concern, no matter how small, it is our emergency. We will see your friend as soon as possible, and provide excellent advice and prompt care to you and your pet.
