Overview

We provide the highest quality veterinary treatment and specialty care for your pets when your regular Veterinarian is closed. You can be confident knowing your pet is in good hands because of our advanced training, expertise, around-the-clock monitoring and cutting-edge technology. Our Doctors and staff are on site and available 6pm-8am Monday through Thursday and 24hrs on weekends and holidays delivering sick and injured pet medical care, but most of all, peace of mind. Our small animal emergency clinic prides itself on delivering state-of-the-art, after-hour services, while providing compassionate care for all the animals we work with

The West Central Ohio Veterinary Emergency Service, (WCOVES), was founded in 2009 by 12 area Veterinarians who recognized the need for improved veterinary emergency care and critical patient treatment and monitoring. We opened our emergency clinic in May of that same year on the south side of Lima. In January of 2011, we moved to our current location at 3077 Harding Hwy, (State route 309), just east of the Allen County Fairgrounds. Today, over 35 area veterinary clinics and thousands of dog and cat owners trust us to provide the best after-hours care for their patients and pets
