Overview

Route 66 Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care Center is always open and ready to provide urgent, critical, and after-hours medical care for Albuquerque pets. When others are closed, our dedicated emergency team is here to ensure your pet receives the immediate attention they need

Route 66 Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care Center was founded by Dr. Jeremy Welcome and Rowan Welcome with a vision to reimagine the traditional emergency veterinary experience. Motivated by the belief that no pet owner should feel like 'just another case,' they set out to create a place where empathy, transparency, and personalized support guide every interaction. From its inception, Route 66 has been thoughtfully shaped to serve the community with a more compassionate approach to emergency medicine—one that prioritizes both the patient and the person who loves them. The Welcomes' commitment to elevating the emergency care experience continues to influence the culture of the hospital today, inspiring a team dedicated to serving pets and their families with warmth, respect, and unwavering care

Mission — Our mission is to create positive change in people's lives through compassionate care for their pets
