Here for you and your pet – when you need it most.
As a pet owner, you know that sickness or injuries can happen anytime, not just during the hours your family vet is available.
That’s why our urgent care service provides treatment when your pet needs it. Veterinary urgent care meets the needs of sick or injured pets who aren’t in serious or life-threatening situations but still need prompt medical attention from a veterinarian to feel better as soon as possible.
Similar to walk-in clinics in human medicine, veterinary urgent care is designed to treat acute, non-life-threatening conditions. The emergency hospital is the place to go if your pet is in critical condition and needs immediate, life-saving treatment.
If you’re not sure where to take your pet, give us a call – we’re here to help and support you during your pet’s time of need.
Experience makes all the difference.
Our urgent care 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. Kali Goldapske-Malis is particularly interested in treating trauma, including lacerations and hit-by-car cases. As an emergency clinician, she is working to return pets to health so they can go home with their loved ones.
She has experience educating the police K9 community and performing veterinary exams on these canines. Also, she has spent time in Haiti training veterinary agents to perform routine medical exams and procedures on horses, cattle, pigs, dogs and cats. She has treated approximately 1,500 animals in rural Haiti over the past three years.
Dr. Goldapske-Malis and her husband enjoy hiking, camping and spending time with family. They have two rescue dogs and a three-legged cat.
Dr. Samantha VandeHey fell in love with emergency medicine during her internship and works hard to provide excellent care guided with compassion in moments of distress for pet families. Her clinical interests include working with patients in the ICU who need detailed therapy that can change hour by hour.
When not working, Dr. VandeHey enjoys being outside and thrives in summer months with gardening, growing giant pumpkins, horseback riding, cycling, boating, kayaking, barbecues, hiking with her dogs, live music and reading a good book on a hammock.
