What is considered a pet emergency?

A pet emergency includes difficulty breathing, severe or prolonged vomiting or diarrhea, trauma or injury, seizures, toxin ingestion, pale gums, collapse, or extreme lethargy. If you are unsure whether your pet needs emergency care, call us immediately at (713) 932-9589 and we will help you assess the situation.

We are a walk-in emergency animal hospital in Houston, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Simply bring your pet in and our team will triage and treat them as quickly as possible.
