What to do in a pet emergency
When your pet is hurt or suddenly sick, a few minutes matter. Call the nearest emergency animal hospital, describe what's happening, and head over if they tell you to. Keep your pet as still and calm as you can on the way, and bring any packaging if they ate something they shouldn't have.
An emergency vet is different from your regular vet. A 24/7 pet hospital is staffed overnight, on weekends and on holidays, and it treats the sickest patients first. That's why a stable pet may wait during a busy night, and why calling ahead helps.

Frequently asked questions
What is a 24/7 emergency vet?
A 24/7 emergency vet is an animal hospital that stays open around the clock to treat urgent problems like trouble breathing, poisoning, injuries and seizures. Unlike a regular vet, you do not need an appointment.
How do I know if my pet needs the emergency vet?
Go now for trouble breathing, collapse, seizures, heavy bleeding, a swollen belly with unproductive retching, suspected poisoning or a male cat straining to pee. See our full list of emergency signs.
How much does an emergency animal hospital cost?
Expect an exam fee of about $100 to $250, plus the cost of tests and treatment. Many visits land between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars. Our emergency vet cost guide breaks it down.
Are all of these hospitals open 24 hours?
201 hospitals in the directory are confirmed open 24/7. Others are emergency hospitals with limited or unconfirmed hours, and each listing says which. Always call ahead.
