PET EMERGENCY
SERVICES
Dr. Hefter and the team here at Premium Vet Care are available for your emergency and urgent animal care needs.
IF YOU CAN’T GET TO THE VET, WE’LL COME TO YOU!
We are trained, equipped, and ready to handle any urgent care that your pet may need. Our mobile emergency veterinary facility has full diagnostic capabilities, from in-house laboratory blood, urine and fecal testing to digital X-rays, ultrasound and CT scan capabilities. With a full-service surgical suite, we can provide a safe environment and the highest quality of care for your pet in any emergency situation.
Though not a complete list, here are some common pet emergencies that we often see:
- Toad toxin ingestion
- Traumatic injury, (i.e. fractures, lacerations, dislocations)
- Diarrhea or vomiting
- Gastric distension and bloat
- Dehydration
- Allergic reactions
- Heat stroke
- Heart failure
- Seizures
- Breathing problems
Please don’t hesitate to call us if you believe your pet might be in need of emergency veterinary care. A veterinarian will be available to answer any questions you have and offer advice. If you don’t reach us immediately, a veterinarian will return your call shortly–no matter what time of day or night. We work to prioritize emergency care over other appointments with an additional fee calculated on a case-by-case basis. We’re always upfront with any additional house call fees, so you’re never hit with a surprise bill.
If your pet does not appear stable, please call one of the hospitals listed below. We apologize in advance to any client that must change their appointment time or day due to our emergency exam policy. We do hope you understand, and we do try our best to accommodate all of our clients. We are also available for urgent care when the condition is not life threatening, but if you feel your pet needs to be seen before we can get to you, below is a list of hospitals we refer to throughout Dade and Broward Counties.
