PETCHESTER VETERINARY

When an emergency strikes, we are equipped to handle all types of urgent situations. From gastric torsions to diabetic crises, we are able to quickly identify the problems and provide immediate treatment. Emergencies will always take precedence over routine procedures, however, we are not an emergency clinic so you should always call prior to coming to the animal hospital.

Unscheduled appointments or walk-ins and emergencies are only seen after checking in with a receptionist about availability. There is a $50.00 supplemental walk-in/emergency fee and you should be prepared for a several hour wait since we will be trying to squeeze you in between scheduled appointments. We encourage you to drop off your pet if you cannot be seen promptly. Please note that while we will do everything to accommodate you, we also do not want to jeopardize your pet's care. If for any reason we are unable to assist you, there are multiple other 24 hour emergency veterinary facilities (see below) in the area where your pet can be seen.
