Effective Immediately

After extensive discussions over the past few months, we have come to the realization that we are no longer able to provide after-hour services over the weekends or holidays. Due to staffing concerns and lack of 24/7 care, we feel that it is in the best interest of our patients to be treated at a level 2, fully-staffed, 24-hour, critical care facility. Therefore, effective immediately, we will be referring after-hours emergency, urgent, and critical cases to the Red River Animal Emergency Hospital in Fargo (701-478-9299, located at 4491 23rd Avenue S, Fargo, ND).

We will continue to offer some urgent care services and consultation, Monday-Thursday, between the hours of 5 PM and 9 PM. Weekday after hours calls will be rotated between Petcetera Animal Clinic, Peterson Veterinary Clinic, Grand Valley Animal Hospital, and Kindness Animal Hospital.

We appreciate your understanding in this matter. Although this is a difficult change, it is important to note that we are not an emergency clinic. For many years, we have done our best to provide emergency services to the best of our ability with the resources that we had at the time. We are grateful that we now have an emergency clinic with the resources and specialists that can treat our patients. We will work hand in hand with them for continuity of care when your pet is discharged and provide follow-up care as needed.

This change is necessary to allow us to continue our daily operations and provide you, our clients, with the same quality and compassionate care that you and your pet deserve. Thank you for all of your support.
