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. We’re also available to treat emergencies at other times, too. Veterinarians are on duty 24 hours a day, every day, to provide urgent care whenever it’s needed.
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-only animal hospital from the ground up. Our doctors are trained and dedicated to meet the demands of emergency medicine. Our patients enjoy the latest in diagnostic, monitoring and support equipment, including digital radiology. Our direct capture technology affords us the highest quality x-rays available in veterinary medicine, helping us to make the right diagnosis. Our in-house laboratory capabilities supplies timely and critical information about your pet's illness. Access to ultrasound examinations, including echocardiography, adds to our ability to make critical diagnoses and institute appropriate treatment.
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.
Exotic Care
We don’t just care for dogs and cats – we can manage urgent care for ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice, birds, reptiles (including turtles) and other exotic pets, too. Our doctors and technicians are capable of handling emergencies for so many different kinds of pets, and have access to a board-certified avian specialist for consultation when we’re dealing with an especially complex case or when a rare species is involved.
Whenever any member of your animal family is sick or injured, 24 hours a day, we’re here to help.
Veterinary Emergency Group – our name says it all!
