In Juneau, Alaska, Vet Triage can direct you to a veterinarian that can assist with emergencies from 8:00 am - 10:00 pm on weekdays and most weekends.
Some of these emergencies will be taken through Summit Veterinary Services and some will be taken through Juneau Animal Rescue. Juneau Animal Rescue can provide service ONLY for porcupine quills and euthanasias. Unfortunately, JAR does not have the equipment and capability to handle any other emergencies.
If your pet has an emergency, please do NOT call the Animal Control emergency line or our Clinic line. Vet Triage (www.vettriage.com) will be the point of contact, able to advise on situations, and will be able to contact the on-call doctor when one is available.
