Emergency Veterinary Services
It is our pleasure to provide our Millwood veterinary emergency services during our normal business hours for pets in and around the communities of Chappaqua, Millwood, Briarcliff Manor, Yorktown and New Castle, New York requiring veterinary emergency care.
Millwood Animal Hospital understands that veterinary emergencies are never pleasant or convenient, which is why we are more than prepared to handle a wide range of emergencies during our regular business hours. We do ask that if possible you give us a call prior to coming in so we can be prepared for your arrival.
For emergencies that occur after our normal hours, we are on-call 24 hours per day so that you are able to speak with a doctor. Afterhours emergency hospitals we refer our clients to are:

Excessive vomiting or diarrhea
-
Excessive bleeding
-
Exhibits symptoms of heat stroke
-
