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.

Outside of work, Dr. Black likes teaching all forms of Pilates, cycling medium distances, cooking flavorful, health-conscious foods and spending time outdoors with her family. She has a laid-back, quirky Lab/hound mix, Leeloo Dallas.
Dr. Chris Given finds neurology, endocrine diseases and researching literature to find a comprehensive answer particularly gratifying.
