What is Pet Pulse ER?
Our pets are part of the family, and just like us, they can get sick or hurt when we least expect it—especially outside of regular vet hours.
​
That’s why we have created Pet Pulse After-Hours ER, a flagship program of the Veterinary Pulse Alliance a nonprofit that is creating a sustainable, compassionate solution to a long-standing gap in care.
What will Pet Pulse ER offer?
Hospitalization
If your pet requires 24 hour care and observation, we’ll provide the same high-quality care they’d receive at your regular veterinary clinic during the day. This includes IV fluids, supportive treatments, and close monitoring to make sure they’re stable and comfortable through the night. Your pet will be discharged to return home with you or back to your veterinarian in the morning.
Urgent Care Visits
We’re here for those unexpected moments—when something just can’t wait. Examples include:
-
Possible toxin exposure
-
Cuts or wounds that may need stitches
-
Any issue you believe needs attention before your vet is available the next day
Emergency Services
We will be equipped to handle serious, time-sensitive situations, such as:
-
Trauma (e.g., hit by a car, animal fights)
-
Trouble breathing
-
Seizures
-
Severe or ongoing vomiting or dry heaving
-
Sudden swelling or bloating in the belly
-
Difficulty urinating (especially in male cats and dogs)
-
Any urgent concern that you believe needs immediate medical care
We’ll also triage and stabilize patients who can safely wait to be seen by their regular vet when their clinic reopens.
