Sick Visits
When your pet is sick or injured, Pieper Veterinary Stratford is here to help. Much like in human medicine, a sick visit is a convenient option when your pet needs to be seen but isn’t in life-threatening danger that would warrant a trip to the emergency room.
Your veterinarian will work with you to discuss your pet’s individual history and symptoms and create a personalized plan of care to ensure your pet gets on the road to recovery. Our high-tech facilities, advanced diagnostic tools, and on-site laboratory ensure that your pet has access to the highest standards of care.
Appointments can be booked either by calling us at (475) 271-2287 or online.
Not sure if your pet should go to Primary Care, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room? Please give us a call.
