Emergency Service Availability

The OPVMC emergency service is available 24-hours a day, 365 days a year.  We are also open and available for all holidays.

If your pet is in need of emergency care, or if you are not sure, you may call us at anytime to speak with one of our highly trained technicians who will conduct a telephone triage of  your pet's possible problem(s) and advise you accordingly.  If necessary,  our technicians will confer with one of our veterinarians about your pet's condition.

If possible, please call ahead to let us know if you are planning on bringing your pet in to see us on an emergency basis.  This will allow us time and opportunity to prepare for your pet's arrival.
