Emergency Services

24 Hour emergency care is offered to our current clients. We understand that accidents happen, and situations occur in which veterinary assistance is needed as quickly as possible. Dr. McKenna is on call while he is in the area, and when he is not available, contact information for the emergency clinic are available after hours.

When you have an emergency please call the office for the appropriate phone number to call for your emergency. If you are not contacted within twenty minutes of your call please call that number again. Once Dr. McKenna receives your call he will consult with you on the phone about the next step for your specific emergency.

If Dr. McKenna is not your current veterinarian he will be unable to help you with your emergency, but there are emergency clinics which are open 24/7 in both Rochester and Buffalo.
