Emergency Support for Our Patients
At Monte Vista Animal Hospital, we understand how frightening it is when your pet is suddenly ill, injured, or in distress. That’s why we offer emergency vet services during regular business hours exclusively for our current clients. If your pet is part of the Monte Vista family, you can trust that we’ll do everything possible to accommodate urgent needs with expertise, urgency, and compassion.
For after-hours emergencies, we refer to trusted local 24-hour hospitals to ensure your pet receives continuous care and medical oversight when we’re closed.
