Roswell is an active, pet-friendly community where many families need a plan for pet emergencies that happen after hours, on weekends, or during holidays.
With more than 900 acres of parkland, trails, dog parks, and access to the Chattahoochee River, Roswell pets may face issues like heatstroke, trail injuries, dog park bite wounds, snakebites, toxin exposure, paw pad burns, and water-related illness.
Dogwood provides 24/7 emergency and specialty veterinary care for Roswell pets from our Marietta hospital. If your pet is injured, weak, having trouble breathing, or unable to urinate, our team is available when your regular veterinarian may be closed.
Your pet may need emergency care if they are experiencing:
- Difficulty breathing, choking, or open-mouth breathing in cats
- Collapse, fainting, extreme weakness, or inability to stand
- Seizures or sudden neurological changes
- Severe vomiting or diarrhea
- Suspected poisoning or toxin exposure
- Foreign body ingestion
- A bloated or distended abdomen
- Unproductive retching or repeated attempts to vomit
- Trauma from a car accident, fall, dog fight, or bite wound
- Heavy bleeding or open wounds
- Eye injuries, sudden cloudiness, or vision changes
- Trouble urinating, especially in male cats
- Pale, blue, gray, white, or muddy gums
- Severe pain, crying, hiding, or restlessness
- Heatstroke or heat-related illness
- Snakebites, insect stings, or outdoor injuries
If you are unsure whether your pet needs emergency care, call Dogwood at (404) 609-1234. There is no wrong time to ask for guidance.
