How to see a specific veterinarian
24/7 emergency veterinary care: what Village Veterinary Hospital actually says
The hospital advertises a veterinarian on call around the clock even though its routine office is not physically open around the clock.
Routine appointments, preventive care and normal front-desk service follow the published office schedule.
The hospital states that emergency needs are supported by an on-call veterinarian.
What to do for an after-hours emergency
Is the emergency room physically open 24 hours?
The hospital’s official wording is that it is “ready for emergencies 24/7” and has a doctor on call 24/7. At the same time, it publishes regular office hours ending at 5:30 PM on most weekdays, noon on Thursday and Saturday, and no routine Sunday office hours.
For that reason, this guide treats the service as 24/7 on-call emergency veterinary coverage, not as permission to walk into an unlocked reception desk at any hour without calling.
