Emergencies
If you have an emergency during business hours, we will triage your pet so they can be seen in the order of the most serious. If an emergency occurs after business hours, call Animal Emergency & Referral Associates at (973) 788-0500. If you think your pet has ingested a poisonous substance, an Animal Poison Control Center is the best resource. Call (888) 426-4435 for round-the-clock care.
