team approach to care

Every patient is supported by a coordinated care team that works together to evaluate symptoms, explain recommendations, and develop a plan. We keep you informed throughout the visit so you understand what is happening and what comes next

access through transparency

In traditional ERs, a lot of great work happens behind closed doors. At inkwell, abundant windows, glass exam room doors, and an open layout create visibility into our space. We invite you to watch our dedicated team care for your pet.

streamlined emergency care

Our process begins the moment you call in. A highly trained veterinary care representative will start the triage process even before you walk in the door! While wait times vary in any emergency setting, this approach helps our team provide swift, efficient care upon your arrival.

our facility

inkwell’s facility blends thoughtful design with innovative veterinary care.

Sprawling murals, vibrant greenery, and nuanced flourishes embody the artistry of advanced medical care. Embedded within the aesthetic is a meticulously designed workflow, informed by our extensive experience in specialty/referral emergency centers.

Our expansive windows not only fill the space with natural light - they invite you into your pet’s medical experience. In our transparent model, the treatment area is visible from almost anywhere in the clinic. You will have a front-row seat to our team’s dedicated care.

Pieces from local artists adorn the wall; coffee from our favorite local roasteries is brewing in the corner. From the moment you walk in you will feel that inkwell is an emergency clinic born from the community we serve.

We hope you never need us. But we’re here if you do.
