my dog is very ill and needs to be put down, can I randomly show up or do I need to make an appointment ?

I believe you should make an appointment. Everything run there is strictly scheduled

If you go early in the morning like 8:00am you will be able to

I'm sorry about your dog being ill. You can call 311 to ask

I'm sorry to hear that. Honestly, it would be best to make an appointment. Every time I have ever been it has been extremely busy and I've seen walk ins be rejected. It would be best for you and your dogs sake to call ahead.

Lately you can go without an appointment. I took my dogs recently and no appointment was needed.
