Frequently asked questions

Upon arrival, an emergency technician performs a medical assessment, or triage, to determine the urgency of their condition. This means patients with life-threatening injuries or illnesses are seen first, even if it results in extended wait times for stable patients.
- What kind of care and communication can pet owners expect for hospitalized pets?
- For hospitalized pets, the in-patient wing is designed for comfort with individual suites, soft lighting, relaxing music, and calming pheromones. Veterinarians provide medical updates at least twice daily, typically between 9 and 11 a.m. Owners can also call for a "Comfort Check" status update from a veterinary technician.
