Effective November 4^st, 2024, City Animal Hospital’s on-call service has changed. Please see below.

In Case of an Emergency

Calling our clinic (506-458-9223) outside of our regular business hours will direct you to our answering service.

They will take your information and help you connect with whichever clinic is handling emergencies at that time. 

Those clinics include:

Valley Veterinary Hospital

Douglas Animal Hospital

Royal Road Veterinary Hospital

Countryside Vet Hospital

Oromocto Veterinary Hospital

Fredericton Veterinary Walk-In and Urgent Care

Port City Emergency Veterinary Hospital

We are pleased to welcome the newest member of the veterinary community here in Fredericton, the Fredericton Veterinary Walk-In and Urgent Care clinic (FVUC)!

Who they are: The FVUC (https://frederictonurgentcare.ca/) opened in the fall of 2024 here in Fredericton. They are open 12pm-12am, seven days a week, with the goal of helping our existing clinics meet the growing needs of our region. Together with the rest of our group, they will help us continue to provide care for the vast majority of our emergencies locally between the hours of 8am and 10pm. Our answering service has been provided with the relevant contact information to help direct you appropriately. 

This will not change our agreement with the Port City Emergency Veterinary Hospital (https://www.portcityemergencyvet.ca/). Animals requiring immediate care overnight (between 10pm and 8am, 7 nights a week) will continue to be directed to their facility in Saint John, and clients are still free to call there directly at (506) 658-8387.

This change does not preclude our hope to someday have a true 24/7 emergency service here in the city. It is simply an extension of the goal we have held all along: to provide the best reasonable standard of care for all of our patients.
