Steps to Take In A Pet Emergency
If you are experiencing a veterinary emergency, follow the steps below.
- Call Ahead If Possible - During regular business hours call us right away. After hours, established clients can call us. Our on-call veterinary assistant will help assess the situation, then consult our on-call veterinarian, who will provide after-hours care including hospitalization for emergencies.
- Follow Instructions Provided - When you call to let our emergency care team know you are on your way, instructions may be provided to help you apply first aid or otherwise make your pet as comfortable as possible. Follow these instructions carefully.
- Remain Calm - Remain calm and be extra careful around your pet. When an animal is in pain they often react negatively towards anyone trying to help and could bite or scratch.
- Bring Your Pet In For Care - Do not put yourself at risk! Safely bring your pet to our regional veterinary center in Jesup.

We cannot predict what cases we will see and when they will arrive. If possible, call ahead to find out whether we can provide emergency care for your dog or cat.
After hours, established clients will speak with our on-call veterinary assistant and coordinate with them so an on-call veterinarian can provide care.

Some veterinary emergencies require intensive overnight care. At Wolfe Animal Hospital we provide overnight care for animals in need.
While in our care, our dedicated team will treat your pet as if they were our own.
