What Is Pet Critical Care?
Critical care supports pets who are:
Unstable due to trauma, injury, or severe illness
Recovering from emergency surgery
Experiencing respiratory or cardiac distress
In need of IV fluids, oxygen, or intensive monitoring
Our team stabilizes, treats, and monitors pets using a blend of skill, compassion, and technology.
What to Expect During Critical Care
If your pet needs critical care, we provide:
Rapid triage and stabilization
Advanced monitoring (heart rate, respiration, oxygen)
IV fluid therapy and medications
Oxygen support or thermal regulation
Regular updates and communication with you
Coordination with local emergency or specialty hospitals if needed
We act quickly, but always with empathy — for both you and your pet.

Supports recovery after major procedures or trauma
Gives your pet a fighting chance during a crisis
