Emergency Information

SMALL  ANIMAL  EMERGENCIES:

We know that some medical events just can't be planned for.

While we are not an emergency hospital, we try our best to see established clients in good standing. During normal business hours, please call ahead so we can review your pet's medical record and decide the best course of treatment.

For emergencies after 5:00pm Monday through Friday, and after 2:00pm Saturday, Sunday or holidays, call or go directly to:

Veterinary Emergency Group in Asheville (828) 470-7802
