What is Classed as a Vet Emergency?
A vet emergency can range from acute injuries, such as accidents or trauma, to sudden illnesses like severe vomiting, diarrhea, or difficulty breathing.
Signs of distress, extreme lethargy, uncontrolled bleeding, or suspected poisoning also warrant immediate attention. At Lakecity Animal Hospital, we’re equipped to handle all types of cat and dog emergencies in Kelowna with promptness and care.

The cost of an emergency vet appointment can vary depending on the nature and severity of your pet’s condition. At Lakecity Animal Hospital, we believe in transparency and will provide you with an estimate following an initial assessment.
While emergency care can be more costly than regular visits due to the need for immediate, often after-hours service, we strive to offer affordable emergency vet services in West Kelowna without compromising on quality.
