Animal Emergency Hospital

Our 24/7 emergency veterinary services address urgent pet health crises including trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses. The experienced team provides rapid triage, diagnostics, and treatment for critical conditions. Patients receive immediate attention from skilled veterinarians and technicians specialized in emergency medicine.

Equipped with IDEXX and HESKA technology, our in-house lab enables rapid bloodwork, urinalysis, and disease screening. Quick diagnostic results facilitate timely treatment decisions for critically ill pets. This capability reduces wait times compared to external lab processing.

Digital radiography provides immediate internal imaging for diagnosing fractures, foreign bodies, and organ abnormalities. This technology allows precise evaluation of skeletal and internal organ systems in emergency cases. Images are available for instant review by attending veterinarians.

Life-saving blood transfusions treat severe anemia, hemorrhage, and clotting disorders. The hospital maintains compatible blood types with rigorous donor screening protocols. Patients receive close monitoring during and after transfusion to ensure safety and efficacy.

Oxygen therapy treats respiratory distress from smoke inhalation, trauma, or cardiac events. Specialized equipment delivers controlled oxygen concentrations to stabilize patients. This treatment supports recovery while addressing underlying medical conditions.

My 5 month old pup broke his leg and my first visit was great, they got him stable, X-rays and casted fast and the vet tech was great. Told me to come back to get the pup casted in a week, and when I returned it was a different vet as they have many. She was rude and told me to find someone else to do it, after I was told to come back to get it changed.

As it is, having a furry friend is expensive. Even more so when you have an emergency. We had the unthinkable happen this week. Our kitty, Douglas, started acting funny this week. He was very sick. I was greeted at the door and was checked right in. He was taken right back and checked over. They took his history and took me back in a room while I waited for the Dr to come in. They suggested an x-ray and blood work to start.

We were looking for something that would give us hope. We ended up getting bad news. All of our options were laid out before us. They gave us all the time we needed with our kitty with the choice we chose for him. They treated him and us with the utmost respect and choices for him. We were given the option to be with him as they ended his life. All respect for this group of people and their caring treatment of our pet.

They did not have experience to help a dog that was in a house fire. They did not offer an antibiotic. They only sent me home with a steroid and literally said the coughing was not related to the house fire, even though both dogs sounded the same and never had a problem before. After Googling, imagine that, it said a dog from smoke inhalation needs oxygen and antibiotics to ward off pneumonia. I had to call back 3 days later when she wasn't getting better and quote Google, and ask for an antibiotic.

She is finally getting better. It was so hard getting the correct care from any place near me I made many calls to different vets. We lost one dog because we did not get good advice from Heritage either.

If you love your pet at all do not use this place! We took our puppy in for choking and he was making a loud clicking noise and gagging because we thought he ate a plastic buckle on a Sunday and I rushed him to the closest place to me. $400 and an X-ray later they say to make him vomit or spend $5000 on a surgery tomorrow or go to another hospital because they were closing in 3 hours mind you I got there at 1:30pm and they didn't do anything till after 5. $105 for an exam they didn't even do!

They were turning people away 3 hours before they closed. Next day our normal vet finds the plastic buckle wedged up in his gum under his tooth. $180 surgery to get it done. He was in pain for days because of this place! This place is a joke and they do not care about your pet! Wish I could give zero stars!

Our Australian Shepherd, Daisy needed emergency surgery after her paw was caught and damaged by a reclining chair. This facility and their staff did a remarkable job. Daisy is recovering nicely and our vet said they did a great job. We are so grateful for their services and the compassion they displayed. Thank you each and every one for your kindness in helping our sweet heart.

We had our first emergency with our Dane puppy, and honestly I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I was warmly greeted upon arrival and Rambo was taken right back. Once the doctor got to look at him he talked to me about possibilities and any concerns. I was given pricing before anything was done, which was wonderful. They took great care of my baby, got his leg splinted up, and told me to call with any questions. The staff at the front desk helped me get him back in my car as well. Everyone was wonderful. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup.
