Animal Care Hospital

  COMPANION ANIMAL EMERGENCIES:

We know that some medical events just can't be planned for.

While we are not an emergency hospital, we try our best to see established clients in good standing. During normal business hours, please call ahead so we can review your pet's medical record and decide the best course of treatment.

Depending on our staffing, other urgent cases, and the nature of your pet's emergency, this may include having you go directly to an emergency facility for the best interest of your pet.  

For emergencies after 5:00pm Monday through Friday, and on the weekend or holidays, call or go directly to:

Veterinary Emergency Group in Asheville (828) 470-7802

or

 Western Carolina Veterinary Emergency Hospital in Hendersonville (828) 693-3331

or 

MedVet in Asheville, NC (828) 665-4399
