Holiday hours: August 7, 2023

Due to the August long weekend, the WCVM's Veterinary Medical Centre (VMC) will be closed on Monday, August 7. 

The VMC's regular clinical services will resume at 8 a.m., Tuesday, August 8. 

Emergency and critical care services are available for small and large animals throughout the holiday weekend, 24 hours a day.

However, the hospital must limit its small animal after-hour service because of high demand and limited staff. The VMC clinical team is restricting its overnight patient intake to life-threatening cases (red zone) only from 10 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. each night until further notice.

Whenever caseload and staffing permits, the clinical team will see patients that fall under the urgent condition (orange zone).

Please call 306-966-7126 to speak with our triage team before arrival. Visit vmc.usask.ca for more information about our emergency services. 

MEDICATIONS: before the long weekend, make sure to check your animals' medications and call the WCVM Veterinary Medical Centre pharmacy (306-966-7120) for refills. Please note that the pharmacy is closed on weekends and statutory holidays.
