Nights, Weekends, and Holidays
The Veterinary Emergency Group is a cooperative facility founded and supported by leading area veterinarians to cover after-hours pet emergencies. Established in 1988, we provide emergency coverage for animals in Westchester, Putnam, Fairfield and Rockland County, and for Northern New York City.
Care When You Need It
We know emergencies don't happen according to schedule. That's why The Veterinary Emergency Group is open and staffed at times when good care can be hard to find. We're available to provide urgent care throughout the night, on weekends and major holidays. Veterinarians are on duty Monday to Thursday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., and from 6:00 p.m. Friday to 8:00 a.m. Monday morning.
Caring For You And Your Pet
At The Veterinary Emergency Group we care about you as well as your pet. We know that a critical illness or unexpected accident is stressful for everyone in your household. Our staff will assist you in every way we can to ensure that you receive timely information, a full explanation of treatments, and a realistic estimate of fees.
After you leave our hospital we will transmit important medical information directly to your doctor so that continuing care is timely and appropriate.
Intensive Care
When your pet is hospitalized at The Veterinary Emergency Group, your pet is monitored around the clock. Our nursing staff is headed by experienced veterinary technicians who provide care that can make the difference in critical situations. Doctors are on duty throughout the night.
Of course, along with expert medical attention, our patients receive the tender loving care they deserve 24 hours a day.
Quality Care
The Veterinary Emergency Group is the only facility in our area designed and equipped as an emergency hospital from the ground up. Our patients enjoy the latest in monitoring and support equipment. Our in-house laboratory capabilities can supply timely and critical information about your pet's illness.
Should your pet require emergency surgery at any time, day or night, you're assured that our staff has the equipment and expertise you would expect from your own doctor.
