Emergencies

We always welcome walk-in, drop-off, and urgent care/emergency cases.

If, however, you find that your pet is in need of after-hours urgent or emergency care, the nearest after-hours emergency care facilities are listed below.

Please note that regardless which facility you take your pet to, a full medical report will be provided to the CAHWC so that we may follow-up with you and continue to assist with your pet’s care and medical needs.

If you feel your pet may have, or knowingly did, ingest a toxic or poisonous product or substance, please contact one of the two resources provided below. You will be required to pay a fee to open a case, but once you have provided them with your pet’s information, and the information on the product your pet may or did ingest, if they recommend a veterinarian see your pet, either location will assign your pet a case number that you will then provide to your veterinarian at the CAHWC (or the veterinarian at one of the above emergency facilities listed), so that we may further assist in the treatment of your pet.
