Overview

We are a VECCS certified facility, contact us for more information!

Pet+E.R., previously known as the Animal Emergency Center, opened its doors on York Road in 1986 when a group of veterinarians identified a strong need for a 24-hour emergency animal hospital that would be able to care for their patients outside of their regular clinic hours. These Baltimore-area veterinarians opened the Animal Emergency Center to support patients with emergency and critical care situations when their offices were closed. As our animal hospital expanded, we rebranded to Pet+E.R. and, in 2003, moved to a state-of-the-art facility on Luskin's Hill in Towson to better serve the veterinary and pet-owning community in Maryland. In 2023, Pet+E.R. relocated again from Towson to a brand new 40,000 square foot facility in Hunt Valley, Maryland that offers more dedicated ICU space, a larger isolation ward, advanced imaging, improved surgery suites and other cutting edge technology and design that allows us to collaborate with our specialty partners at Chesapeake Veterinary Referral Center

What reviewers say

83% Positive sentiment
based on 1,717 reviews

This emergency and specialty veterinary hospital operates out of a clean, modern, and well-equipped facility. The staff and veterinarians are widely regarded as exceptionally compassionate, knowledgeable, and thorough during critical situations, providing strong support and clear communication to families navigating difficult medical decisions and end-of-life care. While the medical care is frequently praised for saving pets' lives, patients and visitors should anticipate long wait times due to triage prioritization and high costs for emergency treatments and diagnostics.
