Emergency Referrals

Emergencies can be stressful for you and your animal during after-hours. In veterinary medicine, entire hospitals are devoted to emergency care, with veterinarians and staff on site 24 hours a day. This allows them to save their full attention to an emergency or ongoing critical care case. We believe this will help give your pet the best health care in emergency situations. This will allow us at Animal Hospital of Tiffin to continue focusing on wellness care, surgical cases, and ongoing medical cases. We will continue to work with these emergency hospitals to provide ongoing care as needed.

In case of an emergency, please contact one of the hospitals below.
