Same-Day & Emergency Vet Care in Surrey, BC, Open 7 Days a Week

When your pet needs care right away, 108 Avenue Animal Hospital in Surrey, BC is open for same-day and walk-in visits Monday to Friday from 8 am to 10 pm, Saturday from 8 am to 8 pm, and Sunday from 9 am to 5 pm. Our team is experienced in stabilizing and assessing urgent conditions in dogs and cats during clinic hours. If your pet is having an emergency outside our hours, please contact Mainland Emergency Animal Clinic.

Breathing Difficulties in Dogs and Cats

Laboured breathing, open-mouth breathing in cats, a blue or pale tinge to the gums, or rapid shallow breaths are signs of a respiratory emergency. Do not wait to see if the situation resolves on its own. Call us immediately and come in right away. We are open until 10 pm on weekdays and until 8 pm on Saturdays. Respiratory distress can deteriorate rapidly, and early assessment is critical for a good outcome.

Suspected Poisoning and Toxin Ingestion

If your pet has eaten human medications, certain plants, chocolate, xylitol, grapes, raisins, or household chemicals, do not wait for symptoms to develop. Toxin ingestion is time-critical. Call us immediately at (604) 581-1108. If you know what was ingested, bring the packaging or note the name of the substance. Prompt action gives the best chance of a good outcome.

Severe Vomiting or Diarrhea

Occasional vomiting is common in pets, but repeated vomiting, blood in vomit or stool, a distended or painful abdomen, or an inability to keep water down requires urgent attention. These can be signs of serious conditions including intestinal blockage, parvovirus, or gastric dilation. If your pet is vomiting more than twice in a short period or appears lethargic or painful, call us right away.

Urinary Blockage in Cats and Dogs

Urinary blockage is a life-threatening emergency, particularly in male cats. Signs include repeated straining to urinate with little or no output, crying out when trying to urinate, lethargy, vomiting, or a distended abdomen. If you suspect a blockage, do not wait. Call us at (604) 581-1108 and come in immediately. This condition can be fatal within 24 to 48 hours without care.

Limping, Heatstroke, and Parvovirus Care

Sudden limping that does not improve after rest, especially after trauma or vigorous activity, should be assessed by a veterinarian. Heatstroke is a risk during warm Surrey summers: if your pet is panting excessively, drooling, or collapsing after heat exposure, move them to a cool area and call us immediately. Parvovirus is a serious viral illness in unvaccinated puppies. If your puppy is lethargic, vomiting, or has bloody diarrhea, seek veterinary care the same day.

Trauma and Accident Injuries

If your dog or cat has been hit by a vehicle, fallen from a height, or suffered blunt trauma, seek veterinary care immediately, even if your pet appears to be walking. Internal injuries are not always visible on the outside. Call us at (604) 581-1108 on your way in and our team will be ready to assess your pet promptly. Trauma cases are seen as priority walk-in visits during clinic hours.

Seizures

A seizure lasting more than two minutes is a medical emergency. If your pet is seizing, keep them away from furniture and hard surfaces, do not put your hands near their mouth, and time the seizure if possible. Call us the moment the seizure ends. Multiple seizures in a short period, known as cluster seizures, require urgent veterinary assessment. Our team will assess your pet, stabilize them, and advise on next steps and referral if needed.

Allergic Reactions

Sudden facial swelling, hives, vomiting shortly after exposure to a new food or insect sting, or collapse are signs of a potentially serious allergic reaction. Anaphylactic reactions can progress quickly and require prompt care. If your pet shows any of these signs, call us immediately and come in during our hours. We can assess the severity and provide appropriate care.

Lacerations, Wounds, and Foreign Body Removal

Deep cuts, puncture wounds, and embedded foreign objects in the skin or paws require professional care. We see wound and laceration cases as same-day walk-in visits. If your pet has a wound that is bleeding heavily, do not delay. Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth on the way to the clinic. Foreign bodies such as splinters, glass fragments, or porcupine quills also need professional removal to prevent infection and further injury.
