Pet Emergency Care for Dogs, Cats, and Small Animals in Mission
When something feels wrong with your pet and you cannot wait for a scheduled appointment, Mission Veterinary Hospital is here. As a family-owned hospital serving Mission, Cedar Valley, and the surrounding Fraser Valley, we offer same-day emergency care for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters during clinic hours, Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 7:00pm, and weekends from 9:00am to 5:00pm. For pet emergencies outside our clinic hours, please contact Gladys Pet Hospital in Abbotsford or the Animal Emergency Clinic of the Fraser Valley in Langley directly. Foreign body removal is one of our most in-demand emergency procedures. If your dog or cat has swallowed an object, please call us at (604) 826-8456 without delay.
Recognising a Pet Emergency
Some situations are clear emergencies. Others are less obvious, and knowing the difference can affect your pet's outcome. Signs that generally warrant same-day emergency attention include difficulty breathing or laboured breathing, seizures or collapse, trauma from an accident or fall, severe allergic reactions such as facial swelling or hives, suspected toxin ingestion, suspected foreign object ingestion, inability to urinate, open wounds or lacerations, uncontrolled vomiting or diarrhoea, signs of extreme pain, sudden limping or inability to bear weight, eye injuries, suspected heatstroke, and bite wounds. If you are unsure whether what you are seeing requires emergency care, call us at (604) 826-8456. Our team can help you decide what to do next.
Same-Day Emergency Care in Mission
Mission Veterinary Hospital handles a wide range of emergency cases on the same day they present. Our on-site diagnostic equipment, including digital X-ray, ultrasound, in-house laboratory, and endoscopy, allows our team to gather important information quickly so that appropriate supportive care can begin without delay. Foreign body removal is one of our most in-demand emergency procedures, and we are equipped to perform endoscopic and surgical retrieval on-site when required. We also manage wound assessment and repair, allergic reactions, urinary obstruction, eye injuries, ear and skin infections that have worsened acutely, and bite wounds during clinic hours. Pet owners from Cedar Valley, Hatzic, Silverdale, and the surrounding Fraser Valley travel to our Mission clinic for emergency cases because we are equipped to handle them under one roof in most situations.
After-Hours Guidance and Emergency Referral
Our team understands that emergencies do not always happen during business hours. For pet emergencies outside our clinic hours, we recommend contacting Gladys Pet Hospital in Abbotsford or the Animal Emergency Clinic of the Fraser Valley in Langley directly. Both locations provide after-hours emergency veterinary services. Please do not delay seeking care for a seriously ill or injured pet. Once our clinic reopens, our team is happy to provide continuity of care for your pet's recovery and follow-up.
What to Bring to an Emergency Visit
When you come in for emergency care, bring any relevant information you have, recent medical records if available, a list of any products or items your pet has been exposed to or may have ingested, and any other observations about when symptoms started or how quickly they progressed. The more context our team has, the faster we can focus on what matters. If possible, call ahead at (604) 826-8456 so our team can prepare for your arrival.
