Our Emergency Care in Greensboro
For pet parents, there is nothing quite as stressful as an emergency involving their four-legged family members. At Happy Tails Veterinary Emergency Clinic in Greensboro, we understand the fear and uncertainty that you and your pet are probably experiencing at this time. Know that if you need help, our emergency team is here for you. Our hospital is open late for after-hours care when your regular vet is closed, and 24 hours during the weekend and on holidays.

Partnering with GuardianVets for After-Hours Support
Outside of our operating hours, you can still get in touch with a veterinarian through GuardianVets. This service gives you access to a licensed veterinarian, who will give you advice and help you determine whether your pet needs to see a vet right away, or if they can wait until the following day when their daytime vet is open.
To contact a GuardianVets professional, call our main number at (336) 288-2688, then press 1 when prompted. This will automatically connect you to a licensed veterinary professional who will triage your pet and let you know what you need to do next.
