Emergency and Urgent Care Services

Nothing is more important than the health and wellbeing of your pet.  There are times when you know your pet has an urgent medical need and then there are times when you are worried, but unsure if it is an emergency requiring immediate care.

During our office hours, if you are concerned your pet is having a medical emergency please call our clinic at (773)801-0771. Our team is here to help guide you in these situations.  Please do not email or text if you are concerned your pet is having a medical emergency. 

We do our best to treat and accommodate as many patients as possible, especially in emergencies, however, there are certain situations where going directly to an emergency care facility is the best option for your pet.

Call us to learn more about our emergency services from our veterinary hospital in Bridgeport.
