Did You Know?
All of our locations welcome patients on a walk-in basis.
But you can schedule an appointment for urgent care in Brooklyn Park. This particular hospital houses multiple departments and we have a separate team dedicated to caring for those pets who can be treated on an out-patient basis, making for easy access, and prompt care. Of course, the most serious illnesses or injuries will always take precedence. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call: (763) 463-9800
Honoring Gilbert Together
Turning Tragedy into Healing
As our community continues to grieve the recent act of violence, we want to take a moment to honor Gilbert, the beloved dog of Rep. Hortman and her family. Despite the tireless efforts of our Brooklyn Park team, Gilbert tragically succumbed to his injuries, passing peacefully with his family by his side.
To celebrate Gilbert’s legacy as a former service dog and the profound bond he shared with his family, we are dedicating all Angel Fund donations through the month of July to support the emergency and specialty care needs of local police K9 units. These brave service dogs—both active and retired—often require medical care that exceeds available resources. In Gilbert’s memory, we hope to give back to the dogs who serve and protect our communities every day.
Donations can be made here.

Common Emergencies:
Heat-related Illness
Heat-related illness is all too common during the summer and we’ve seen our fair share of pets in distress over the last few weeks. Many pets are not used to the heat and may have difficulty regulating their internal temperature, particularly if they are brachycephalic (smooshed faces like Frenchies, Bulldogs, Pugs, and Persian, British Shorthair, and Himalyan cats). Here are some Do’s and Don’ts for hot days:
Do:
- Move to a cool area: Immediately remove your pet from the hot environment and transport them to a shaded, cool, and well-ventilated area.
- Apply cool water: Gently pour or spray cool (not cold) water over your pet’s body, focusing on areas like the neck, chest, and abdomen, to help lower their body temperature.
- Use a fan: Place a fan near your pet to help circulate air and increase evaporation, further aiding in cooling.
- Offer cool water: Provide your pet with cool (not cold) water to drink, but don’t force them to drink if they are unwilling.
- Seek veterinary care: Transport your pet to the nearest veterinarian as quickly as possible, even if they seem to be recovering, as heatstroke can cause internal damage.
- Monitor temperature: If possible, check your pet’s temperature rectally. If it’s elevated, continue cooling measures until it reaches a safer level (around 102.5°F or 39.2°C), but avoid overcooling.
Don’t:
- Use ice or ice-cold water: This can cause vasoconstriction, potentially worsening the condition and leading to shock.
- Wrap your pet in wet towels: While wet towels can help, they can also trap heat if not properly managed with air circulation.
- Force your pet to drink: If they are unwilling or unable to drink, focus on cooling measures and seek veterinary help.
- Leave your pet unattended in a car: Even on mild days, the temperature inside a car can quickly rise to dangerous levels.
- Over-exercise your pet on hot days: Limit outdoor activities to cooler parts of the day and avoid strenuous exercise during peak heat.
- Ignore symptoms: If you notice any signs of heatstroke, such as excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, or vomiting, take immediate action.
