We are happy to provide 24-hour emergency care to our clients and their animals.
If this is an after-hours emergency, please call our office at (660) 248-3382.
From there, you will be directed to an after-hours emergency line where the on-call veterinarian will assist you. It is possible that the veterinarian is responding to another call, and they will reach you whenever they are available.
If our emergency veterinarian cannot be reached and you have an emergency that needs to be addressed immediately, please call the University of Missouri Veterinary Health Center after-hours number at (573) 882-4589 or Horton Animal Hospital Discovery at (573) 777-3609.
