Our clinic has been providing quality emergency services for over 200 veterinary practices in the North Jersey area for 30 years. Our emergency service veterinarians are experienced, with career interests in emergency medicine and critical care.
Our goal is to provide outstanding veterinary services during nights, weekends and holidays when your regular veterinarian is closed.
You do not need an appointment for your pet to be seen.
Clients are seen in the order of their arrival and we diligently try to keep your wait to a minimum.
However, life-threatening emergencies do sometimes arise and must be dealt with immediately.
Please be patient with us during these periods.
If your pet requires hospitalization, you can be sure that he or she will receive the very best of care, with a veterinarian on duty at all times. You should receive a written estimate of costs prior to hospitalization.
This estimate covers emergency services only. If your pet is later transferred to one of our specialty services, that specialist will supply a separate estimate for services.
Please note:
Before the emergency service closes in the morning you will need to pick up your pet and take him or her directly to your regular family veterinarian for further care.
If your pet is in need of specialized care, he or she may stay in the hospital and be transferred to one of the specialty services.
All specialty service transfers will be coordinated with your regular family veterinarian.
We do not hospitalize animals when the emergency service is closed unless they are transferred to one of the specialty services.
