Not a place I would go to for an emergency. We went here with our cat and the doctor working told us our cat was sick from a bad heart because he heard a heart murmur, so he gave our cat a shot of unncessessary lasix for a bad heart, turns out our cat had a perfectly normal and healthy heart!! Had this doctor simply looked into our cats mouth he would have seen a huge tumor in the back of his throat which was blocking 99% of his airway, and THAT is why he was having trouble breathing! Geez! We had the same experience at Peninsula Emergency Vet on Route 17 as well. It's hard to find a doctor who cares enough to do a thorough examination. We will not be going back. Instead we took our cat to The Cove over in Suffolk and within 30 mins they figured out why our cat was so sick, they were so wonderful at The Cove! Please don't waste your time at this place or your precious money. Go straight to The Cove in Suffolk instead, the doctors there are amazing!
Great place if you need your animal eutanized immediately. However, if it's an emergency where your companion possibly needs treatment, beware. My experience was that they vet performed a myriad of unnecessary tests and then when there was a problem with my credit card for the $600+ bill, they told me it was policy to withold needed medication from my dog if I could not pay in full immediately. What kind of medical practice has as its policy to withold needed medication from a sick patient? Animal Emergency Center.
I run a Pet Rescue and can not COUNT how many times we have come to Animal Emergency Center, both at this location and their old. We would be LOST without their after hours care. I can't say enough GREAT things about the quality of care, the knowledge of these vets, the willingness to save lives. I give them 5 stars only because there are not 6!
I had two different visits to this emergency clinic. On the first one they cost me about $500 in useless tests that told me nothing, they did not diagnose my puppy. They also had no idea what was going on with him. I came back in a few weeks later after seeing another vet. This clinic wanted me to euthanize him or have a $4000+ surgery. In the end my puppy ended up having a string caught on his tooth, it caused the string to hang down into his stomach and intestines, irritating them and causing him to almost die. The vet was abrasive and ineffective, he was very pressuring for a high cost procedure.
The word emergency implies for me that my kitten would be looked to immediately. I was told I arrived in the middle of a shift change and was told to sit and wait. Meanwhile, in the back room I heard what sounded like a lot of socializing going on. I left after 15 minutes. I won't be going back unless they are the ONLY game in town! For my cats' sakes only. I also won't be going back to the normal vet clinic these people are associated with. If they are going to charge 300% for emergency service,they need to provide it. They lost about 20 years of my business for two cats. I do not recommend. There used to be another emergency vet near the NN city line. I intend to find if they are still in business and by whom owned.
