We do our best to accommodate any emergencies that need to be seen. We have appointments set aside daily for this purpose. If all spots are booked, we offer drop-off appointments that will give our doctors time to take care of your pet in between current appointments. While we know you would prefer to be here for these appointments, it is not always possible as we are trying to work your pet into an already busy schedule. But don’t worry, your pet will be well treated in your absence and we will do our best to minimize time in our facility as our schedule allows. Oftentimes these more urgent cases also require diagnostics (bloodwork or x-rays) which also take additional time to perform. 

There are six veterinary clinics in Durango with many different doctors who alternate nights and weekends to reduce the burden from any single doctor/facility. This service is designed to provide you with advice and care outside of regular business hours and on holidays.

As long as you are an established client with us, the emergency doctor should see you. Calling our number at 970-247-4701 will get you to an automated message that will link you with the clinic that is on call for the night or weekend.

We will be informed of your emergency visit the following business day and will follow up with you as necessary (of course with more pressing questions, feel free to reach out to us during regular business hours).
