As the holidays are fast approaching, many people consider adopting or purchasing a new puppy or kitten for someone special. While searching for your new puppy or kitten, it is also important to make sure your new furry family member is healthy and ready for adoption!
Much like searching for a pediatrician for your human children, you’ll want to make sure you find a family veterinarian you can trust for your new family member! Don’t just search for a “vet near me”! Here at Bluestar Pet Hospital, we treat your pets like our pets and you can have confidence that your new puppy or kitten will be given the best care, at the best price.
We’ve all been there—it’s Sunday afternoon and you notice your furry family member is just not acting right. That’s when you really begin thinking about the past few days and notice that you may have overlooked your pet’s decreasing appetite and energy. But it’s Sunday. Most “vets near me” aren’t open on Sundays. That sinking feeling hits because you start to think about an emergency vet and the emergency costs that come with that.
Here at Bluestar Pet Hospital, we’ve been there too. That’s why we have extended and weekend hours to fit your urgent veterinary needs. We also welcome walk-ins so there is no need to worry if there is no time to make an appointment! We understand that emergency pet situations occur and we’re not always financially prepared for a big emergency bill. Rest assured if you find your pet in an urgent situation and need an emergency vet near you, we will be here to provide compassionate and throughout care.
Call us today at 904-230-9099 (St. Johns) or 904-973-3797 (Baymeadows). Don’t forget to ask about our affordable wellness plan options that encompass all of your new fur baby’s yearly preventive care!
