Knowing When Your Pet Needs to Be Seen

One of the hardest parts of pet ownership is deciding whether a symptom can wait or needs attention now. Use the guidance below to help you decide, and remember our team is just a phone call away.

Monitor at Home

Mild, short-lived changes in appetite or energy can often be watched for a day. Keep notes on what you see so you can share details with us if symptoms continue.

Call Right Away

Repeated vomiting, difficulty urinating, trouble breathing, or signs of pain need prompt attention. Call us for same-day urgent care during our open hours.
