Emergency Vet Care

North Tollway Pet Hospital provides urgent and emergency veterinary care for cats and dogs during our regular clinic hours. It's always best to contact us in advance if you can, but we understand that this is not always possible in emergency situations.

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 emergency vets see urgent cases during our regular business hours:

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

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

Similar to a human doctor's office, our pet hospital in  Dallas can be unpredictable, and you may need to wait to be seen. 

We cannot predict which cases we will see and when they will arrive. If possible, call ahead to find out whether we are able to provide emergency care for your dog or cat.

If we are unable to fit an emergency appointment into our vet's schedule, we recommend that you visit the 24/7 animal emergency hospital detailed above. 

Some veterinary emergencies require intensive overnight care. At North Tollway Pet 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 emergency veterinarians are mostly experienced with cats and dogs, but will see other small animals, such as birds and rodents, in serious situations.
