Emergencies and urgent health concerns can happen when you least expect them. At Pet Pals Animal Hospital, we’re here to provide swift, skilled care when your pet needs immediate attention—without the stress of waiting days for an appointment.
Emergency Care During Business Hours
If your pet is experiencing an emergency during our regular operating hours, please call us immediately at (636) 278-7257. Our team is trained to respond quickly to urgent situations and will provide guidance on next steps over the phone or help you come straight in.
We’re equipped to handle a wide range of emergencies, from trauma and collapse to sudden illness, allergic reactions, or toxin exposure.
If it feels like an emergency, we want to see your pet.
Same-Day Sick Appointments
Not all urgent concerns are emergencies—but that doesn’t mean your pet should wait to be seen. We reserve same-day appointments specifically for sick pets, so your furry family member can get help fast.
Common reasons for a same-day visit include:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Lethargy or sudden behavior changes
- Limping or pain
- Ear infections
- Eye injuries or squinting
- Skin issues or swelling
- Refusing food or water
We do our best to accommodate you with your pet’s regular veterinarian when possible, or the next available doctor when timing is critical.

Call us right away if your pet shows signs such as:
- Difficulty breathing

This means we can assess and treat your pet right away—without the delays of outside referrals.
