Urgent Veterinary Care

When we're open for business, WellPet Humane can help cats and dogs with emergency and urgent veterinary care. It's always best to contact us in advance if you can, but we understand that sometimes that isn't possible.

It's best if you go to the after-hours emergency vet location shown above if we can't fit your pet in.

Our veterinarians see emergency cases during our regular business hours:

The following situations are examples of emergencies that require immediate care:

• Severe bleeding or bleeding that doesn't stop
• Obvious signs of pain or extreme anxiety
• Choking, difficulty breathing, or continuous coughing/gagging
• Fractured bones or severe lameness
• Seizures and/or staggering
• Bleeding from nose, mouth, rectum, or blood in the urine
• Inability to urinate or pass feces, or pain associated with urinating or passing feces
• Severe vomiting or diarrhea; 2+ episodes in 24-hours
• Injuries to the eye(s)
• Your pet has ingested something poisonous (such as antifreeze, xylitol, chocolate, rodent poison, etc.)
• Heat stress or heatstroke
• Refusal to drink for 24 hours or more
• Unconsciousness

In our Doraville animal hospital, things can change quickly and you might have to wait.

It's impossible for us to know which cases we'll see and when they'll show up to us. If you can, call us ahead of time to see if we can help your dog or cat in a pinch.

It's best to visit the 24/7 animal emergency hospital above if we can't make an emergency appointment with our vet.

Some veterinary emergencies need 24-hour care. At WellPet Humane, if your pet needs overnight care we will refer you to a local pet emergency hospital.

However, if your pet's needs can be managed at home overnight, we'll ask you to pick your pet up and bring it back the next day.

But while in our care, we will treat your pet as if they were our own.
