They took in our Bull Terrier on a Sunday, wonderful and knowledgeable staff. He had to stay overnight, which worked out for him and kept us in the loop. We appreciate all their work.

My old friend was very sick. Had to let him go. Really brought me thru it. Great people.

The staff here were friendly and acted with urgency. They close at 9:30 but their ER is open all night. The Dr was there shortly after and we were able to find a solution to our pets emergency and go home with a pup feeling better.

Affordable emergency vet care. Doctor called after surgery with an update at 10 pm. Put me at ease that my puppy was in good hands.

We brought our cat in on a weekend because she started vomiting white foam and acting very lethargic along with a few more symptoms. They were busy and clearly overwhelmed. The doctor did a WBC count and stated these values came back normal. After more than 2 hours his diagnosis to us was that she is probably just “stressed” or has anxiety. He gave her some nausea and stomach meds for vomiting and sent us on our way. She wasn’t getting better so we took her to our normal vet(All Creatures) and she was diagnosed with acute kidney failure within 20 minutes of walking in the door. The Dr. working that day missed a potentially FATAL condition which we should’ve caught much earlier when we had brought her in the first time. We almost lost our cat and she will likely have permanent kidney damage because of this. It unfortunate that this is the only emergency vet around.
