Pet parents in and around the Jacksonville and Springfield, FL areas who are interested in seeking nearby care for their dog or cat are welcome to seek comprehensive solutions for their furry friends in our facility. Veterinarian care is not only for routine evaluations and immunizations, but also for emergency vet care.
An emergency is a situation that arises with your pet in which they require immediate attention. Some common occurrences that we see in our practice include the following scenarios:
A pet ingesting a poison or medication that is not for them, such as cleaning supplies, insecticides, houseplants, or human medication
A pet that has been involved in an accident with a vehicle
A pet that has fallen from furniture or a greater height that may have resulted in broken bones
A pet that is showing signs of heat exhaustion
A pet that becomes unusually aggressive
A pet that has been showing signs of sickness or illness, such as lethargy, vomiting, or diarrhea that does not improve on its own
A pet that appears to have broken bones or another type of injury, regardless of how it occurred
If your pet is experiencing an emergency, we provide care for dogs and cats every day of the week. We also do not have extra fees for pet parents who bring their animal in for weekend care or emergencies because we understand how unexpected they are.
We understand how important it is for pets to receive critical care when necessary, and that the cost of these treatments may keep people from being able to provide professional care for their pets. Furry friends who undergo any care at the San Marco Animal Hospital will benefit from financing options available in our practice. We encourage pet parents to look into credit financing through CareCredit, which can also be used for other expenses in the household such as dental care, dermatological services, and the like. Additionally, we accept all major forms of payment including cash, checks, and credit cards. We also provide military discounts and will avoid extra fees to make care easier to obtain.
Absolutely! We are open seven days a week and will see your pet promptly to provide immediate service. We provide advice for pets who have various diagnoses, to make sure pet parents have options to consider whenever possible. We also have in-house laboratory services to facilitate faster diagnosis of certain conditions, and we also accept transfer from other emergency facilities, ensuring your pet has continued treatment and observation when they need it most.
