EMERGENCIES

If you have an urgent question or possible emergency between the hours of 8:00am and 9:00pm and you are a client, you may phone Dr. Alvarez at 203-451-2714. You can expect most phone calls to be returned immediately. If you do not receive a return phone call immediately (may occur when out of cell service zones) and you believe you have an emergency, please phone one of the numbers below.

If you need some guidance in deciding whether your pet may need emergency care, please refer to our blog article on our home page entitled After Hours Emergencies.
