Excellence in Emergency Veterinary Medicine

We are committed to providing excellence in emergency veterinary medicine. This striving for excellence includes all aspects of our care, from customer service to our in-house policies and beyond. Most essential is excellence in the care of your furry loved ones during their emergency or urgent care needs. It is our privilege to offer this level of excellence 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We offer 24-hour emergency and urgent care veterinary services on the North Shore & also to patients along the Sea-to-Sky, including Squamish, Whistler & Pemberton.

We acknowledge that we are on the traditional, unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh people.

We accept emergencies, ‘walk-in’ urgent cases, direct transfers and referrals from family veterinarians. Click here to download our new patient form.

Mountainside Animal Hospital and 24-hour Emergency Services is always here for you and your pet. We work in a complementary fashion with your regular family Veterinarian to provide high-quality veterinary emergency and critical care medicine when your regular Veterinarian is unavailable. Once your pet’s condition is stabilized, you have the option to refer back to your regular veterinarian for ongoing care.

We ensure that the most comprehensive emergency and surgical care for your pets is available when needed. To do so we either refer out to, or bring in-house, board-certified specialists for complex surgeries or procedures, as required. We are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week for emergencies and walk-ins (no appointment necessary).
