Animal Emergency Clinic of the Hudson Valley

We are strictly an emergency veterinary facility dedicated to meeting your pet’s medical needs when your family veterinarian is unavailable. No appointment is necessary, however, if time permits, please call ahead so we may better prepare for your arrival

Twenty-five years ago, veterinarians in the Hudson Valley and surrounding areas managed their own emergencies or covered for each rotation. Having dealt with balancing the emergency needs of patients and the busy routine of daily medicine and surgery, a group of over thirty concerned and caring local veterinarians met early in 1988 to deliberate and resolve the many dilemmas of after-hours care. The AECHV was founded in 1989 and comprises two state-of-the-art equipped and staffed hospitals in Kingston and Poughkeepsie, New York

Mission — Our mission is to partner with our clients to nurture and preserve the human-animal bond by providing compassionate, expert, and affordable veterinary care from your pet’s first adventure throughout a long and healthy life
