KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

Emergency vs. Non-Emergency

LIFE-THREATENING

Call 911 or Your Emergency Vet

If your pet is in immediate danger, having a seizure, bleeding heavily, was hit by a car, or is showing signs of poisoning, do not wait. Go to your nearest emergency veterinary hospital right now.

URGENT BUT NOT LIFE-THREATENING

Call the Pet Help Desk

For situations that need attention but are not immediately life-threatening, call us at (833) 754-7542 toll-free or (205) 754-7542 local during business hours. If we are closed, leave a message and we will call you back as soon as possible.
