Sick Care FAQs
Are same-day appointments available for sick pets?
Same-day appointments may be available for current clients only, depending on our schedule. We do not accept walk-ins, as scheduled appointments enable us to dedicate time to our pet patients without added delays.
How do I know if my pet needs to see a veterinarian?
Changes in appetite, energy level, behavior, or body condition can all be signs that something isn’t right. Symptoms like persistent vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, limping, or unusual behavior should be evaluated, too. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to call and ask! We’re happy to guide you.
Does your veterinary clinic hospitalize sick pets?
