When to Call Instead
If your pet is having trouble breathing, has collapsed, is bleeding heavily, has ingested a toxin or swallowed an object, or is in severe pain, do not wait for walk-in hours. Call us immediately at (903) 617-6072. During hospital hours, emergencies receive priority over routine appointments. Learn more on our pet emergencies page.
Making the Most of Your Walk-In Visit
To help us see your pet efficiently, bring any recent medical records, a list of current medications, and a fresh stool sample if your pet has digestive symptoms. Dogs should be on a leash and cats in a secure carrier. If your pet needs further care, our in-house diagnostics and pharmacy allow us to start treatment right away.
