FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When in doubt, you can always call our pet parent experience team to help triage your situation. However, emergency related appointments are extremely urgent and require a specialized veterinarian to treat. For this reason, if you feel your pet need to be seen immediately, it may often require emergency level care.
The cost of emergency care varies based on the specific needs and the seriousness of the case. At Sploot, we prioritize financial transparency. Before any significant medical procedures are carried out, you'll have a clear discussion about the costs with your veterinarian.
Opting for Sploot offers several advantages, including affordability (up to 60% cheaper than ERs), prompt appointments or drop-offs to avoid waiting times, and seamless follow-up care without the hassle of referrals.
At Sploot Veterinary Care, we prioritize prompt and efficient service for your pet. We encourage you to call us first, allowing our dedicated team to guide you to one of our clinics that can best accommodate your pet’s specific needs.
While we don't accept walk-ins, we strive to see every patient right away but please note that for emergency situations, or cases requiring specialized emergency care or 24-hour monitoring, our facilities might not be the ideal option. In such instances, we are committed to directing you to a trusted animal hospital nearby that can provide the necessary care. Our goal is to ensure your pet receives the best possible attention in a timely and efficient manner.
As Sploot is not a 24-hour veterinary service, we have specific procedures for cases requiring round-the-clock monitoring. If your pet needs continuous observation, we typically conduct the necessary medical services at Sploot and then arrange a transfer to another emergency veterinary clinic for ongoing monitoring. In situations where a procedure may extend beyond our operating hours, we proactively provide recommendations for trusted emergency animal hospitals right from the beginning. This approach ensures that your pet receives uninterrupted, high-quality care.
Emergency care requires specialized vet attention and training due to the severity of the situation. Common emergency cases involve excessive bleeding due to car accidents or animal fights.
Additionally these cases often require extensive time and attention. For this reason, these cases can be slightly more expensive than urgent care.
We always advise calling our pet parent experience (PPX) team to help assess whether you need urgent or emergency care.
The quality of care provided is consistently high, regardless of where it's received. Yet, for cases that necessitate 24-hour monitoring, emergency animal hospitals have an edge due to their round-the-clock operations. This extended availability is a significant factor in their services being more expensive compared to Sploot, which operates within specific daily hours.
Despite this, Sploot ensures your pet receives the necessary immediate care before recommending or transferring them to a facility equipped for continuous monitoring.
