What Makes PETSURG & ER4PETS Different?

We go beyond standard dog emergency hospitals. Our emergency services are supported by board-certified specialists, including a surgeon available through our PETSURG program. This means that if your dog’s condition requires emergency surgery for soft tissue or orthopedic, we can provide it on-site when needed.

At PETSURG & ER4PETS, we combine advanced medical care with personalized attention. You’ll meet the veterinarians and technicians caring for your pet overnight and have the ability to call and speak directly with the same team. Our personalized approach can alleviate your stress because you know your dog is receiving expert, compassionate pet care tailored to its needs.
