Emergency care for existing patients of New Ulm Regional Veterinary Center, Nicollet Veterinary Clinic, or Kind Veterinary Clinic is available until 10pm.

  • Follow Instructions Provided - You may be provided instructions to help you apply first aid or make your animal companion as comfortable as possible. Make sure you follow these instructions as carefully as possible.
