Pet emergencies in White Rock or Surrey

If your pet is hurt or suddenly very unwell, call an emergency vet right away. Here’s who to call and what to do.

Mon to Fri: 8 AM to 6 PM
Sat: 9 AM to 5 PM

Call us at (604) 536-7618 before you come in so our team can get ready for your pet.

Is it an emergency?

Call right away if your pet has any of these signs. If you’re not sure, call. It’s always better to ask.

Trouble breathing, or blue, grey or very pale gums
Collapse, fainting or sudden weakness
A seizure, or seizures one after another
Bleeding that won’t stop
Hit by a car, a fall or another major injury, even if your pet seems fine
A swollen, hard belly or trying to vomit without bringing anything up, especially in large dogs
Straining to urinate with little or nothing coming out, especially in male cats
Eating something toxic, such as chocolate, grapes or raisins, xylitol, lilies (cats), rat poison, cannabis or human medication
Repeated vomiting or diarrhea, or any blood in either
Signs of severe pain: crying out, hiding, not wanting to move
Trouble giving birth

Stay as calm as you can. Your pet will pick up on your stress.
Call ahead so the team knows you’re coming.
Move your pet carefully. Use a carrier for cats and small pets, or a blanket or board as a stretcher for larger dogs.
If your pet ate something toxic, bring the package or a photo of the label.
Don’t give human medication unless a veterinarian tells you to.

Call us or Mainland first. You can also call a pet poison hotline for advice any time. Fees may apply.
