Emergency Veterinary Care

White House Animal Hospital provides emergency and urgent veterinary care for cats and dogs during our regular clinic hours. It's always best to contact us in advance if you are able, but we know that in emergency situations, that isn't always possible.

If we are unable to fit your pet into our schedule, we recommend that you visit the after-hours emergency vet location shown above. 

Our veterinarians see emergency cases during our regular business hours:

The following situations are examples of emergencies that require immediate care:

• Injuries to the eye(s)
• Severe bleeding or bleeding that doesn't stop
• Fractured bones or severe lameness
• Choking, difficulty breathing, or continuous coughing/gagging
• Bleeding from nose, mouth, rectum, or blood in the urine
• Seizures and/or staggering
• Inability to urinate or pass feces, or pain associated with urinating or passing feces
• Obvious signs of pain or extreme anxiety
• Severe vomiting or diarrhea; 2+ episodes in 24-hours
• Refusal to drink for 24 hours or more
• Your pet has ingested something poisonous (such as antifreeze, xylitol, chocolate, rodent poison, etc.)
• Heat stress or heatstroke
• Unconsciousness

Our White House animal hospital is just like a human doctor's office—it can be unpredictable and you may have to wait. 

We aren't able to predict what kinds of cases we will see and when we will see them. If at all possible, call ahead to find out whether or not we are able to provide emergency care for your dog or cat.

If we can't fit an emergency appointment into our vet's schedule, we advise that you bring your pet to the after-hours emergency hospital detailed above. 

Some veterinary emergencies require intensive overnight care. At White House Animal Hospital we provide overnight care for animals in need.

While in our care, our dedicated team will treat your pet as if they were our own.

Our veterinarians are able to provide urgent and critical care to dogs and cats during our regular hospital hours.
