If you’re unsure of whether your pet needs to go to the ER, and want to connect with a veterinarian via a video call- please use the link below to connect with our trusted partners at VetTriage. 

VetTriage was created by Dr Wissel’s classmate from Cornell School of Veterinary Medicine. The VetTriage team of veterinarians are available 24/7 and will assess your pet on a live video chat for a small fee to determine if your pet requires immediate emergency care, or simple monitoring at home until we reopen. In the event of an emergency, they will coordinate your visit to the local emergency hospital. If you do not have video capabilities, or prefer to use a phone line, please connect with VetTriage at 1-800-940-1921.
