Emergencies can strike at any time, and we want you and your pet to be prepared. Should the unexpected happen when our animal hospital is closed, we strongly recommend reaching out to one of the emergency animal hospitals listed below.
Welleby Veterinary Hospital can provide some limited emergency care during our regular opening hours. However, we ask that you please call us first at (954) 748-2002 so we can triage your pet and help you figure out what to do next.
