Emergency Services

We are committed to providing you and your pets with the best care possible at Foothill Farms Veterinary Hospital. While we are a full-service general practice, we are not continuously staffed, and urgent after-hours conditions may require a visit to an emergency facility. During practice hours, some conditions may be optimally served at a 24-hour emergency/referral center, which provides continuous monitoring and specialized care of critical patients. 

If your pet is in an acute, potentially life-threatening situation (this can include severe trauma, difficulty breathing, collapse, continuous seizing, and uncontrollable bleeding), please consider taking your pet to the nearest veterinary emergency facility.

Please call us at (916) 332-4444 if you are concerned but uncertain if your pet’s condition requires an emergency facility. We have provided a list of local 24-hour emergency facilities below.
