Emergency and urgent care services throughout the region, including the University’s, frequently have more patients than they can handle, resulting in long wait times and temporary service closures until patient care capacity improves.
If the University of Minnesota’s Small Animal Emergency Service is temporarily closed or the wait time is too long based on the urgency of your pet’s concern, please use the list below to contact other local Emergency Services that may have shorter wait times. We strongly recommend calling in advance as these clinics may also be temporarily closed or experiencing long wait times.
