‘Get in Line’ From Home
We’re here to make your visit as smooth and low-stress as possible. You can reserve your spot from home by clicking the button below. Don’t worry, we’ll text you when it’s time to come in!
A few things to keep in mind...
- This is not an appointment. Your pet’s estimated visit time is just that—an estimate. Visit times can change based on caseload and the urgency of other patients' needs.
- To keep things simple and stress-free, we’ll send you text updates to let you know when to come in. If there’s a change in your estimated visit time, we’ll notify you right away.
- If your pet is experiencing a crisis or needs immediate care, please don’t wait. Call us or come in right away!
- When you arrive, we’ll assess your pet’s condition. If their situation is critical, they’ll be seen immediately. If they’re stable, your reserved place in line will be held.
Understanding ER Wait Times
Upon arrival, our team will promptly evaluate your pet’s condition. Pets in critical condition are treated immediately, while those who are stable may need to wait as more urgent cases are prioritized.*
We know waiting can be stressful, so we’ll keep you informed and updated throughout your visit.
*If your pet’s condition changes during your visit, please notify us immediately so we can reassess their triage level.
