Pet Emergency

Veterinary emergencies happen. During business hours, we will always see your pet, but after hours, if urgent, we recommend that you call one of the local 24-hour emergency veterinary services.

If you think your pet has eaten something poisonous:

Call us at 202-827-1230 immediately! If after hours, contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center’s 24-hour hotline at (888) 426-4435. Trained toxicologists will consider the age and health of your pet, what was ingested, and then make a recommendation about what action should be taken.

For non-emergencies, please schedule an appointment by calling us or scheduling online.
