AFTER-HOURS & URGENT CARE FOR DOGS & CATS
Mtn Green Animal Hospital provides urgent and emergency support for sick or injured pets. We offer rapid urgent care appointments, Monday extended hours, and limited after-hours phone guidance for established patients.
Same-Day Urgent Care During Business Hours
If your pet becomes sick or injured during the day, call us. We make every effort to schedule same-day urgent care appointments and triage cases by severity.
Monday Night Extended Hours from 6-9pm
Because we know that your pet can't always be seen during business hours, we offer Monday evening extended hours from 6-9pm for anything from wellness and vaccine appointments to urgent matters.
After Hours Phone Calls for Current Clients
We provide limited after-hours phone guidance and emergency exams for established clients when a practitioner is available. Availability is not guaranteed, and some cases may still require a 24/7 emergency hospital.
