Emergency Vet Care
Sick care services and quick diagnostics
Nothing is worse than the time spent worrying about your pet when they’re ill. Injuries, upset tummies, or eating the wrong thing — these things happen.
We’re here to make your pet feel better and return to their happy and carefree animal life. Our low-stress team uses state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to provide you with a fast and accurate treatment plan.
We can get rapid results with our in-house laboratory diagnostics. Our vet clinic also includes digital general radiology, digital dental radiology, and ultrasound to get urgently needed imaging results for a complete diagnosis.

Very lethargic
Vomiting or diarrhea for more than 24 hours
Difficulties urinating or defecating
Blood in their stool, urine, or vomit

What our pet-loving clients say about us
““I recently switched to Clarendon Animal Care– they’re amazing. Even though I wasn’t a client, they got my sick cat in the day I called then called me daily to check on my sick cat afterwards. My vet, who’d been treating my cat, was aware the cat was sick, couldn’t get my cat in for 4 days.
This practice devotes attention to each client so they don’t feel like a number, but part of the family. And the vet and techs who have seen my cats (I have 5), have been very knowledgeable, professional and caring. The front office staff are wonderful, too.”
