Emergency Services

We are proud to be the full-service hospital for your pet's emergency services. We pride ourselves on being a trusted resource for all the health needs of the furry family members that you love and care for. We treat a broad range of animals - from cats and dogs, to horses, and cattle!

You know your pet better than anyone. If you feel his or her medical condition is serious and cannot wait, seek emergency care immediately. As pet owners ourselves, we know emergency situations don’t always happen at the most convenient times.

During our regular business hours, the medical staff and resources at Heartland Animal Hospital are available to help you with any emergency your pet experiences. If possible, please call in advance so we can prepare for your arrival.

If you have an emergency outside of normal business hours, we see our clients up to 10pm nightly and on weekends. If the veterinarian is unavailable or it is after these hours, we refer clients to the following emergency facility:

 

University of Missouri Veterinary Health Center Emergency Care

When To Seek Emergency Care

The following general situations should help you determine if you need to seek emergency care for your pet:

  • Acute abdominal swelling
  • Bleeding
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Electric shock
  • Excessive vomiting or diarrhea
  • Exhibits symptoms of heat stroke (excessive panting, weakness, pale gums, vomiting)
  • Seizures
  • Sudden onset of weakness
  • Temperature above 104-degrees or below 99-degrees
  • Unable to urinate or defecate
  • Acute eye pain/squinting/discharge



I have been a patron of Heartland Animal Hospital for over 3 years. My black lab, Emmett, is fearless and accident prone. Thus, I am quite fortunate to have Dr. Cuddihee and staff a phone call away. Whether he needs a patch-up from a woodland romp or perhaps a stomach remedy for eating something he shouldn't have... I can always trust they'll have him back in good health in no time. When I have to travel for work, the boarding process is quick and easy, and his accommodations are always clean and comfortable. When I pick him up, I can often tell he has been happily playing outside in the courtyard. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to any pet owner who is looking for affordable and quality animal care.

Emmett is always excited to come see his friends here. All I have to say is "Let's go to Heartland" and he will race to the truck.
