Emergency Services

Just like people, pets can face sudden accidents or illnesses. At Bar S Animal Clinic, we understand how stressful those moments can be. While we are not a full-service emergency hospital and are not staffed 24/7, we do offer limited emergency care for our current clients whenever possible.

Initial Contact
Call us right away if your pet is experiencing a medical emergency. Our staff will gather information over the phone to help determine whether:

• Your pet can be seen at our clinic,
• Needs to be stabilized before referral,
• Or should go directly to a nearby emergency animal hospital.
   

Triage & Examination
If your pet is seen at our clinic, a veterinarian or experienced technician will perform an assessment. We operate on a priority-first basis, ensuring the most critically ill or injured pets are seen first.

Payment & Insurance
Payment is due at the time of service. We’ll provide an estimate when possible, but please note treatment costs can change based on your pet’s evolving needs.
We do not bill pet insurance directly but are happy to provide documentation for reimbursement.

If your pet has an emergency outside of our business hours:

• Call our main number and follow the prompts to leave a voicemail.
• Include a call-back number in your message.
• A veterinarian or qualified technician will review your message and return your call (from a blocked or unknown number) as promptly as possible.
   

Based on the situation, the veterinarian will:

• Meet you at the clinic for treatment,
• Refer you directly to an emergency hospital, or
• Recommend waiting to schedule a regular appointment if the issue is not urgent.
   

At Bar S Animal Clinic, we will always treat your pet with the same care and compassion we would give our own. Your pet’s health and comfort are our top priorities—especially when it matters most.
