Emergency appointments are not required. You do not need to prepare anything before an emergency visit, our triage team will guide you throughout the whole process.
If possible, please bring any relevant medical records, vaccination history, and medications your pet is currently taking. This will help us assess your pet’s situation quickly.

The decision depends on your pet’s condition and the recommended treatment plan. We will discuss all options with you thoroughly before proceeding.
