Why Do Pets Always Get Sick After the Vet Closes?

It's 7:30 on a Friday evening. Your dog just swallowed something mysterious, and your regular veterinarian closed hours ago.

Sound familiar?

Pets have an uncanny ability to get into trouble at the least convenient times.

Of course, illnesses and injuries don't actually happen more frequently after business hours. But when they do, finding a veterinarian who's still open can be a challenge.

Some common reasons pets need an after hours vet include:

  • Dogs swallowing toys, bones, or household objects

  • Sudden vomiting or diarrhea

  • Limping after an afternoon of playing

  • Ear infections that become increasingly painful

  • Cuts, bites, and unexpected injuries

  • Allergic reactions and skin problems

For years, pet owners faced a difficult choice: wait until morning or drive to a distant emergency animal hospital.

Fortunately, there's another option.

Springtown Emergency Animal Hospital provides emergency, urgent, and routine veterinary care during convenient evening hours.

That means you can have an uncomfortable ear infection evaluated, schedule a wellness exam after work, or seek emergency treatment when something unexpected happens.

Your pet doesn't know it's after hours. We do.
