If you’ve visited a veterinary emergency clinic lately, you know the wait can sometimes take hours after your pet is triaged and deemed stable. We know how stressful and frustrating this can feel when your beloved pet isn’t feeling well. 💙

Please know that our team is working diligently behind the scenes to make sure every patient receives the care they need—when they need it most. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and kindness while we care for pets in our community. 🐾

Every day, our area shelters work tirelessly to care for animals in need — from strays and surrenders to the tiniest bottle babies.

At MAEC, we’re proud to support our local humane societies. Our staff members even step in to help raise bottle baby kittens, sometimes sharing “joint custody” to make sure they get round-the-clock care.

Whew! It’s going to be a hot one today.
Please keep a close eye on your pets (and yourselves!) for any signs of overheating or heat stroke. Here are some tips and tricks to help you spot the warning signs and take proactive steps to keep your critters safe in the heat.

If your pet shows any signs of heat stroke—such as collapse, excessive panting that doesn’t stop, or changes in gum color— don’t wait, get them to a vet immediately!

We will be open tonight at 5:30pm so please don’t hesitate to reach out to us once we open if you have a pet that needs to be seen after hours.
