OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERACritical Care for Your Cat or Dog

We understand how scary having a critically ill or injured pet can be. That’s why at UW Veterinary Care our Critical Care service is acutely focused on making sure your pet receives comprehensive, compassionate care around the clock.

Our team will create a custom care plan for your pet’s needs using the right combination of available treatments and resources, including:

  • Fluids
  • Pain medications
  • Transfusions
  • Oxygen
  • Nutrition
  • Electrolyte support
  • Monitoring vital signs
  • Blood work, imaging, and more

And, with our in-house pharmacy, laboratory and imaging groups, direct access to all specialties and a 24/7 care team, you can trust that your pet will receive the right care, right here, right away.

While your pet is in our care, your UWVC doctor will coordinate scheduled updates of your pet’s condition, as well as visits so that you can spend time with your pet during its stay.
