Emergency Care and Referrals
New Hope Veterinary Hospital can evaluate and triage virtually any pet that comes to our hospital, and many urgent illnesses and injuries can be treated right here by our veterinary team.
Some pets, however, require immediate advanced care and around-the-clock monitoring that can only be provided by a 24-hour emergency hospital. This may include pets experiencing severe respiratory distress that need oxygen therapy, major trauma, or other life-threatening conditions requiring continuous critical care.
