During office hours
Call (402) 494-3844 for urgent concerns. The team can advise you on availability and the next step. Do not use the routine appointment request for an emergency.
Help when your pet needs it
Emergency & after-hours care.
During office hours, call our hospital. After hours, established clients can connect with a veterinarian through VetTriage for the next step.
Where to start
Get the right help for your pet.
After hours: established clients
Use our clinic-specific VetTriage page for a live video assessment with a veterinarian. VetTriage operates 24/7; a consultation fee applies.
After-hours on-call emergency care is for established South Sioux Animal Hospital clients. If you are not an established client or your pet is in immediate danger, contact an emergency veterinary facility directly. Do not wait for an online appointment request.
Our after-hours process
How VetTriage works.
1. Start a session
Visit South Sioux Animal Hospital’s VetTriage page, enter your details, and complete the payment shown in the secure portal.
2. Talk to a veterinarian
Share what is happening with your pet on a live video call. The veterinarian will assess the concern and discuss the appropriate next step.
3. Follow the plan
If in-person urgent care is needed, VetTriage will coordinate with the on-call veterinarian; care may be at a partner clinic. Otherwise, they will advise on monitoring and follow-up.
