Google map, directions, parking, and arrival checklist

Use the map for route planning to Abby Pet Hospital on E. Ashlan Ave in Fresno. Call or text before arrival if your pet may need immediate triage.

Abby Pet Hospital

Phone/Text: 559-442-1127

Third-party map listings can lag behind clinic updates. Use this map for route planning and call/text the clinic before time-sensitive visits, walk-ins, or emergency arrival.

Dogs

Use a secure leash and keep your dog close in the parking area and lobby. Tell staff if your dog is painful, reactive, coughing, collapsing, or difficult to move.

Cats

Use a latched carrier. Do not carry a cat loose because noise, dogs, traffic, and pain can trigger escape behavior.

Exotics and reptiles

Call ahead with exact species, size, habitat temperature, UVB setup, diet, appetite changes, and transport needs.

Records and proof

Bring vaccine records, prior tests, current medications, insurance information, and photos or videos that show symptoms.

How appointments, same-day requests, and walk-ins work

Abby Pet Hospital accepts appointment requests online and says it can usually accommodate same-day requests when possible. Walk-ins may be allowed, but appointment clients receive preference.

Choose online request, call, or text. Use the appointment form, call 559-442-1127, or text the same number. Online requests are not final until the clinic confirms.
Give a clear reason for the visit. Mention wellness, vaccines, vomiting, diarrhea, limping, skin problems, dental concerns, surgery consult, travel certificate, medication refill, exotic pet, reptile, or emergency.
Wait for appointment confirmation. The clinic states that online appointment requests are usually confirmed by call within 24–48 hours.
Prepare extra time for surgery paperwork. Surgical procedures require a pre-surgical questionnaire and surgical release form, which the clinic says can take about 10–15 minutes.
Use ER Express for walk-ins and emergencies. If your pet is a walk-in or emergency, use ER Express check-in or follow the emergency instructions instead of treating it as a routine appointment.
Call script: “Hi, I need help deciding whether my pet needs an appointment, ER Express, or immediate emergency care. My pet is a __, symptoms started __, breathing is __, eating/drinking is __, and medications are __.”

ER Express mobile check-in for walk-ins and emergencies

ER Express is for emergencies and walk-ins. It is not required if you already have a doctor appointment or only need a technician visit.

How to start
Text APH to 34947 or use the official online ER Express check-in page.
Who should use it
Use it for walk-ins and emergency check-in when your pet needs to be triaged during clinic hours.
Not guaranteed
Checking in does not guarantee your pet will be seen that day. Doctors can see only a limited number of patients, and critical pets are prioritized first.
Triage order
Staff try to take pets in check-in order, but they triage based on severity. Critical patients may move ahead of stable patients.
If you live far away
When the clinic tells you to come in, text your ETA so the team can prepare. Tell the front desk when you arrive.
Cancel check-in
If your pet no longer needs to be seen, reply 9 or call the clinic so the spot can be removed from the queue.
Life-threatening emergency? Do not wait at home just because you started online check-in. Come to the hospital immediately during open hours and call or text 559-442-1127 to say you are on your way.

Pets treated and species-specific preparation

Abby Pet Hospital lists care for dogs, cats, exotic small mammals, and reptiles. Call ahead for uncommon species or emergency concerns.

PetOne app, online pharmacy, refills, and food ordering

Abby Pet Hospital promotes the PetOne Veterinary App and an online pharmacy for food and medicine ordering.

PetOne app

The PetOne Veterinary App is promoted for simpler pet healthcare management. Use it for clinic communication, reminders, and account-related tasks when available for your pet profile.

Online pharmacy

The online pharmacy lets owners shop for medication and food without leaving home. Prescription items may require veterinarian review before approval.

Refill checklist

  • Medication or food name.
  • Current dose and directions.
  • Remaining supply.
  • Pet’s current weight if relevant.
  • Shipping or pickup preference.

When to call instead

Call or text the clinic if symptoms changed, the dose seems wrong, the label looks different, your pet had side effects, or you need urgent medication advice.

Medical records, vaccine proof, referrals, and insurance paperwork

Good records help with emergency care, travel certificates, insurance claims, surgery planning, new-client visits, and specialist referrals.

Record need Best route What to include
New-client record transfer Have the prior clinic send records to Abby Pet Hospital before the appointment. Vaccines, exam notes, lab results, imaging, surgery notes, allergies, medications, and chronic conditions.
Vaccine proof Use the app if available or call/text the clinic for confirmation. Pet name, owner name, date needed, and whether proof is for grooming, boarding, daycare, licensing, or travel.
Specialist or emergency referral Ask staff to send records by fax or another accepted method. Receiving hospital name, phone, fax, appointment date, diagnosis, and reason for referral.
Pet insurance claim Request itemized invoice and medical notes after checkout. Diagnosis, doctor notes, procedure names, medication charges, lab charges, and paid receipt.
Travel certificate Schedule early with destination and airline rules in hand. Travel dates, airline, destination, rabies certificate, microchip details, and USDA APHIS requirements.

Domestic and international health certificates

Abby Pet Hospital states that it is a federally accredited veterinary practice and can issue travel certificates for healthy pets when requirements are met.

Domestic travel

For travel within the United States, your pet may need a domestic health certificate depending on airline and destination-state rules. Certificates must usually be issued close to travel, so do not schedule too early or too late.

International travel

International requirements vary by country. Some destinations require long planning windows, specific vaccines, tests, microchip timing, treatment records, or USDA APHIS review.

What to bring

  • Travel dates and destination.
  • Airline requirements.
  • Rabies certificate.
  • Vaccine records.
  • Microchip details.
  • Medication list.

Ask before booking

Ask whether your certificate is domestic or international, whether your pet needs a passing health exam, whether rabies is current, and how early the process should begin.

Payment, estimates, CareCredit, pet insurance, and financial support

Veterinary costs vary by exam type, diagnostics, medication, emergency triage, surgery, dental care, imaging, exotic-pet care, hospitalization, and travel paperwork.

Accepted payments

The appointment page lists Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, CareCredit, cash, and check. Confirm current payment policies before higher-cost care.

CareCredit

Abby Pet Hospital lists CareCredit as a flexible financing option for eligible veterinary care and products. Approval and terms depend on CareCredit.

Pet insurance resources

The financial support page links to pet insurance comparison resources. Most pet insurance is reimbursement-based, so request invoices and medical notes after the visit.

Estimate request

Before surgery, dentistry, diagnostics, hospitalization, exotic-pet workups, or emergency care, ask for an itemized estimate and what could change during treatment.

Cost-control question: “Can you separate must-do care from optional items and explain what affects safety, diagnosis, pain control, or long-term outcome?”

Official PDF resources and forms

The official euthanasia page links PDF resources that may help families evaluate quality-of-life and senior-dog health observations before a discussion with the veterinarian.

Official PDF resource Helpful use Best next step
Dog Life Quality Assessment Use as a conversation aid when assessing comfort, mobility, appetite, pain, and end-of-life quality. Complete observations before calling so the veterinarian has clearer context.
Geriatric Dog Health Observations Track senior-dog changes that may affect comfort, mobility, eating, drinking, behavior, and daily function. Bring the completed notes to a quality-of-life or senior wellness appointment.
PDF note: These forms are decision-support resources, not a diagnosis. Call Abby Pet Hospital for appointment guidance and urgent medical concerns.
