Additional Resources
We’re happy to answer questions over the phone to help determine whether your pet can be treated at STATVet or should be seen at the overnight ER. We cannot provide medical advice over the phone, however, so it’s usually best to have your pet seen by STATVet if you’re concerned.
Common Questions
Do I need an appointment?
No appointment is needed! STATVet is a walk-in facility that triages patients upon arrival. This means we see the sickest and most critical pets first. Stable cats are seen in order of arrival thereafter.
Is my cat experiencing a medical emergency?
If you’re concerned, we’re always happy to see your pet at STATVet. If you’re unsure whether your concerns warrant a visit, please call!
What are the warning signs of a medical emergency in cats?
You know your pet best. Any change from normal behavior can be an early warning sign of impending illness. If your pet is not eating, vomiting, has blood in their stool, seems to have trouble walking, has difficulty breathing, or has trouble urinating, they should be seen by a veterinarian immediately.
What if my cat is too sick or injured for STATVet?
Sometimes the Doctor may identify a serious condition in your pet and may feel critical care or overnight hospitalization is best. In this case, STATVet will perform initial diagnostics such as bloodwork or x-rays in addition to initial stabilization like IV fluids, pain control, or anti-nausea medication. STATVet will contact a 24hr hospital of your choice, speak with a Doctor about your pet’s case, and provide complete medical records to facilitate a smooth transfer of your pet’s care. You will be responsible for transporting your pet to the next facility.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, personal checks, major credit cards, and Care Credit. Payment is required before any diagnostic testing or treatment is performed.
Do you accept insurance?
Health insurance for pets works differently than human medical insurance. You will pay for your pet’s care at STATVet as usual, and then submit invoices for reimbursement to your insurance carrier. STATVet is happy to provide medical records for your pet’s visit to facilitate reimbursement.
Can I split the cost into a payment plan?
We offer third-party payment options including Care Credit. We do not offer private payment plans. We do not accept post-dated checks.
What if I cannot afford treatment?
At STATVet, we promise to do our best to work within your budget. If you have specific financial requirements, please be open and honest so we can best find a plan that will work for you.
