EmergenciesNot an emergency hospital. The FAQ page tells clients "if it is an emergency, go to a veterinary emergency center". The hours page links to the practice's own emergency contact page at /services/emergency-vet, but that page returns 404, so no referral hospital is named.

Before the bill

Pet insurance covers the next thing, not this one.

Anything already going on counts as pre-existing from the day a policy starts. That is why the time to look is before the visit that costs, not after it.
