🐾 When Your Pet Needs Care, Ridgetop Is Here! ❤️
We know that emergencies don't always happen at convenient times, and finding timely veterinary care when your pet needs it most can be stressful.
With the recent announcement that Animal Emergency & Specialty Center (AESC) in Poulsbo will be adjusting their weekday walk-in emergency receiving hours to begin at 7:00 PM, effective November 2nd, we want to reassure our community that Ridgetop Animal Hospital is here to help bridge the gap!
🏥 Our team continues to offer urgent care services Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Whether your pet is experiencing an unexpected illness, injury, or another urgent medical concern, our veterinary team is equipped and ready to help when possible.
A few things to know about our urgent care services:
🐾 Please call ahead! We schedule urgent care visits by appointment to ensure we have the appropriate team and resources available for your pet.
🐾 Walk-ins may be accommodated. We understand that emergencies are unpredictable. If you're unable to call before arriving, we will do our best to accommodate your pet. Please understand that extended wait times may occur as our medical team triages patients and prioritizes care based on medical urgency.
🐾 Not sure if your pet needs urgent care? Give us a call! Our team can help determine the most appropriate next steps for your pet.
We are incredibly grateful for our local emergency and specialty veterinary partners and recognize the challenges our veterinary community continues to navigate. By working together, we can help ensure that pets in our community continue to receive the care they deserve.
Our commitment remains the same: to be here for you and your pets when you need us. ❤️
Please note: Some emergencies may require immediate referral to a 24-hour emergency or specialty facility depending on the patient's condition and our available resources.
