Although we would like to be open 24/7, we only have one veterinarian and it just isn’t possible. However, we want you to be able to locate assistance at any time. Here are some options that you can use when we’re not open:
VetTriage.com: VetTriage gives you instant video televet sessions for any species with a licensed, experienced veterinarian. Connect 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from anywhere on your computer or mobile device.
Chewy Connect with a Vet: This is a free service. You will be able to talk to a vet, but they will not be able to give you specific advice or a diagnosis. They CAN direct you to resources and answer some questions. There’s also a $20 option for a scheduled visit with a vet who can do more diagnoses and recommendations.
VeterinaryPartner.com: A comprehensive website created by veterinarians with reliable information on a wide variety of topics related to animal care.
ASPCA Poison Control: Whether we’re open or closed, if your pet has ingested a toxin, poisonous plant or food that they shouldn’t, we always refer you to ASPCA Poison Control first. (888) 426-4435
