Tartan Tails Cape Breton is proud to offer after-hours emergency veterinary triage to clients through video telehealth services. The VetTriage veterinarians are very knowledgeable, compassionate, and an ideal extenstion of our facility. They will triage your pet to assess if you are facing an emergency that requires immediate emergency care. If you do not need to come in, they will provide home care and monitoring instructions. In the event you need immediate assistance, VetTriage will refer you to the Tartan Tails hospital if available, or the nearest emergency services.
