After Hours Emergencies
West Coast Veterinary Services offers after-hours and emergency assistance in partnership with VetTriage.
When you have a pet health concern after regular business hours, VetTriage veterinarians are on standby 24 hours a day to assist. For a small fee, you will be connected to a vet on a live video chat. They will triage your pet, give you at-home care tips or refer you to a 24-hour hospital if needed.
Steps to Take In A Pet Emergency
If your pet is experiencing any symptoms or behaviours that you are concerned about, follow the steps below.
- Call Ahead If Possible - During regular business hours call us right away. After hours, call the VetTriage number listed above.
- Follow Instructions Provided - When you call to let the pet hospital know you are on your way, instructions may be provided to help you apply first aid or otherwise make your pet as comfortable as possible. Follow these instructions carefully.
- Remain Calm - Remain calm and be extra careful around your pet. When an animal is in pain they often react negatively toward anyone trying to help and could bite or scratch.
- Bring Your Pet In For Care - Do not put yourself at risk! Safely bring your pet to our Stephenville veterinary clinic.
