Pet Hospitalization & Intensive Care
What Is Pet Hospitalization & Intensive Care?
Hospitalization allows us to closely monitor and treat pets who need extended care beyond a regular vet visit. Our modern facilities in Plantation and Hialeah are equipped with the tools and team needed to keep your pet stable, comfortable, and safe throughout their stay.
Visiting Hours for Hospitalized Pets
We welcome families to visit their hospitalized pets during the following times:
- Mon, Wed, Fri: 3 pm to 5 pm
- Tues, Thurs: 5 pm to 7 pm
Our veterinarians will provide a daily update regarding your pet’s condition, progress, and any medical procedures performed throughout their stay. These updates will be given via phone call or text message, or during visiting hours, unless an extraordinary situation occurs.
Important: No patient updates will be provided at night. Saturday has no visiting hour, updates will be provided via text or phone call.
What to Expect from Pet Hospitalization
Hospitalization may be needed for pets experiencing emergencies, undergoing complex procedures, or suffering from conditions requiring fluid therapy, IV medications, oxygen support, or observation. We provide:
- Daytime hospitalization at both of our locations
- On-site diagnostics, including bloodwork and imaging
- Oxygen cages and IV pump management
- Pain management and compassionate care
- Personalized treatment plans and updates
Hospitalization is offered during business hours as well as after hours, with cases stabilized and discharged as needed. After hours, we continue to monitor hospitalized patients via 24/7 cameras at our facilities. In extreme circumstances, we may refer to emergency hospitals as your pet requires.
