🚨‼️Please Take Note‼️🚨
The Veterinary shortage is making finding care very difficult these days. IT IS IMPORTANT TO CALL AHEAD TO THESE FACILITIES. WAITS CAN BE 6+ HOURS.
Due to a severe shortage of emergency veterinarians and technicians, The COVE is temporarily changing its ER hours August 11-October 30.
It is with an extremely heavy heart that the COVE's ER will be closed on weekends starting at 3:00pm on Fridays -Mondays at 7:00am.
If we are not able to accommodate, here are a few trusted local resources that may be able to help. Hours listed are from their websites and are subject to change; please call prior to referral.
