Emergency/Urgent Care
In some emergency cases, your pet may need to be referred to an emergency room or specialty services due to the level of care required.
At Frost Family Pet Clinic, our goal is to always provide the highest standard of care. This sometimes means determining that your pet’s emergency necessitates services beyond what we can perform at our clinic. Factors such as the type of emergency, the level of care needed, and the potential risks of transporting an unstable patient are considered when making this decision.
We also understand that cost is a significant concern. Frost Family Pet Clinic carefully evaluates all aspects, including emergency type, clinic status, required level of care, and associated costs, to make the best plan possible for your pet and you.
In case of medical emergency, please contact one of the following urgent/emergency clinics. These clinics are listed based on their availability and the type of emergency, to provide the fastest service. This list is provided in no particular order of preference.
