If possible (and correct), bring any medications, records, or relevant history with you.

Why We Partner With a Specialist Emergency Clinic
Maintaining true 24/7 veterinary emergency coverage in a small-town practice can be challenging. Partnering with a trusted emergency and specialty hospital helps us ensure your pet receives the advanced care they may need — even when VHD is closed. This approach prioritizes quality care and ensures that emergency services are available around the clock. Many veterinary practices use a similar model of sharing or partnering for after-hours coverage. (Vet Answers)
