Emergency vets near me

Tap "Near me" at the top of this page and allow location sharing: the map shows the closest clinics and you can call them in one tap. You can also pick your city in the search below the map.

Staff can tell you if the clinic can take your animal right away, how long the wait may be and how to transport it. A clinic can also be very busy or may not treat your species.

A clinic open 24/7 takes emergencies day and night. An extended-hours clinic takes emergencies in the evening or on weekends, but not all night. Red dots on the map are the 24/7 clinics.

The price varies by clinic, time of day and the care needed (exam, tests, imaging, hospitalization). Many clinics ask for a deposit on arrival. Ask for an estimate before treatment. Our article on emergency vet costs in Quebec has more details in "Discover".

Generally no: you go in after calling. On arrival, staff assess cases by severity, so the wait can vary if other animals are in more serious danger.

Your animal safely (carrier for a cat, leash for a dog), the packaging of anything it may have swallowed, a list of its medications, its vaccination record if you have it, and a way to pay.

Without delay for trouble breathing, bleeding that does not stop, seizures, collapse, a swollen hard belly, repeated vomiting, being unable to urinate, an injury or poison ingestion. When in doubt, call: the clinic will advise you.

Call its number: the greeting message often names the emergency clinic that covers for it. Otherwise, use the map on this page to find the closest clinic.

Support its body well, avoid sudden movements and cover it with a blanket to keep it warm. An animal in pain may bite out of fear: be careful and ask for help if possible. Clinic staff can guide you over the phone.

Clinics open 24/7 normally are, but always confirm by phone before you leave, especially on holidays.
