‘Get in Line’ From Home
We’re here to make your visit as smooth and comfortable as possible. Just click the button* below to reserve your spot in line from the comfort of your own home! 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.
*This feature will be available when EVCC Kalamazoo opens on June 20th. Stay tuned!
Understanding ER Wait Times
When you arrive, our veterinary team will quickly evaluate your pet’s condition. Pets in critical condition are treated immediately, while stable patients may need to wait as we prioritize the most urgent cases first.*
We know waiting is difficult, and we’re committed to keeping you informed every step of the way.
*If your pet’s condition worsens while you wait, please alert us right away so we can reassess their needs and respond accordingly.
