We are proud to offer emergency care for our current clients. We know it can be stressful to see a vet you don’t know when your pet is sick, which is why we make our current client’s emergencies a priority during business hours. If you think that your pet is experiencing a medical emergency, please call us immediately. Unfortunately, we are not able to tend to emergencies for patients who are not currently in our system. We recommend contacting one of the other local emergency facilities listed below.
After hours when the hospital is closed and you have an emergency, we refer clients to the Mason Dixon Animal Emergency Hospital. They are located at 96 Sofia Dr. Ste. 203 Shrewsbury, PA 17361. Their phone number is (717) 432-6030. Some alternatives are Petz-R-Us, Hershey ER & Newberry ER.
