Before you drive

Call ahead if you can — the clinic can prepare, and they will tell you whether to come to them or to somewhere closer. Bring any medication your pet is on. If your pet is bleeding, unconscious, struggling to breathe, or has eaten something toxic, go now and call from the car.

Hours change, and some of these clinics are overnight-only rather than 24-hour. The hours above are what each clinic publishes; the phone number is the one that settles it.
