After Hours Emergency

Due to the ongoing increase in the volume of emergencies, we have hired GuardianVets, a triage service staffed by NJ licensed veterinarians and Certified Veterinary Technicians. These dedicated professionals will answer our phone lines when our hospital is closed. They will assess your pet and determine if emergency care is required, or if the patient is stable to wait for an urgent care visit the following morning.

If emergency care is deemed necessary, we may see them at our facility with one of our doctors on call or when unavailable GuardianVETS will refer you and your pet to another emergency facility. We understand that this may cause some inconvenience to you, but the care and well being of your pet is our number one priority.

When in doubt, please call us at (856) 241-1100.
