Pet emergencies can be scary – we’re here to help you handle them.
We understand that seeing your pet sick, hurt or in distress can be stressful – especially if you don’t know what’s wrong. Fortunately, our experienced ER clinicians are prepared to take action and help.
Acting quickly in an emergency may save your pet’s life.
If your pet is experiencing an emergency, you’ll have an entire veterinary team helping them so you can get back to what matters most – spending precious moments together.
Experience makes all the difference.
Our emergency team is made up of veterinarians, vet technicians and assistants, and support staff with rigorous training and experience in specialty medicine. The team works hand in hand to provide the comprehensive, compassionate care your pet needs and deserves. Because we’re a multidisciplinary hospital, the team can consult the expertise of other specialty departments, too.

Dr. Ferraro enjoys skiing, hiking and spending time with her dog, Rio, and her cat, Ramona.
Dr. Jacquelyn Foley finds trauma cases gratifying because they allow room for creativity in finding the best treatment. She also enjoys cases like immune-mediated diseases, endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, and chronic respiratory conditions because of how gratifying it is to improve a patient’s quality of life after chronic illness.
Dr. Foley enjoys going to the gym, running, and yoga. She loves snacks, sloths, painting and other art projects, and testing out new food and drink spots. Her family consists of her brother, sister, mom, dad, nana, and the newest addition, a goldendoodle named Guinness.
