Pet Emergencies

Find treatment fast.

At Kingston Animal Hospital, we are equipped to see certain veterinary emergencies during our regular hours. Please call us at (781) 585-6525 prior to your arrival so that we may prepare for you and your pet.

If your pet experiences an after-hours emergency, requires an overnight observation, or we determine they require a level of specialty care that can be better provided elsewhere, we’ll refer you to the closest specialty care or emergency animal hospital.
