Overview

As pioneers in emergency and specialty veterinary care, we are here for you and your loved one. Our highly trained specialists and support staff are devoted to providing the most advanced, compassionate medical care for your pet in collaboration with your family veterinarian

Our multidisciplinary hospital was founded in 2012 as a sister hospital of Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists. Since then, we have grown to become known as a pillar of veterinary emergency and specialty care within San Antonio and South Texas. In 2016, we partnered with Compassion-First Pet Hospitals and are now proud to be part of the NVA Compassion-First network. In 2012 we branched into San Antonio as a specialty practice and added emergency services in 2016

Mission — We relieve suffering. We relieve suffering in our clients and patients, in our community, and in ourselves (we take care of our own)

What reviewers say

70% Positive sentiment
based on 2,013 reviews

This emergency and specialty veterinary hospital provides comprehensive critical care, advanced diagnostics, and surgical services supported by knowledgeable specialists in neurology and internal medicine. The medical team is widely recognized for demonstrating deep compassion, thoroughness, and steady communication during critical health crises and end-of-life decisions. While the facility operates triage effectively to prioritize severe cases, patient families frequently experience extended wait times in the lobby and high medical costs typical of advanced emergency care.
