When Asheville pets face emergencies - whether a snake bite on the Mountains-to-Sea Trail or frostbite during an unexpected ice storm - our urgent care team provides prompt, skilled attention.
We're equipped to handle regional emergencies like toxic mushroom ingestion (common in our damp forests), injuries from falls on rocky terrain, and weather-related crises. Our team trains regularly with local emergency responders on scenarios like pet evacuation during floods or wildfires.
For after-hours emergencies, we partner with Asheville-area specialists to ensure continuity of care. We also provide emergency preparedness consultations to help local pet owners create go-bags and plans tailored to our area's specific risks, from sudden snowstorms to summer power outages.
