It
can be very frightening when your pet is suddenly ill or hurt. During
the hours when our doors are open and we are fully staffed we are
always here to provide you with prompt medical attention for urgent
pet concerns. We have the equipment, tools and skilled personnel
that is necessary to deliver life-saving care. Your pet will be
seen quickly and we will skillfully assess and treat emergency problems.
What
should you do when we are closed, either after hours, on Sunday
or on a holiday? If you have a problem or question that can be handled
by a phone conversation with one of our veterinarians, please call
the hospital (561-746-5501), leave your name and the nature of the
problem, and the doctor will be beeped and return your call.

nature of your pet's medical problem is urgent, or the condition cannot
wait until we next open, please call the great folks at Emergency
