As a small animal emergency and specialty hospital conveniently located in Gainesville, Florida, we are known for 'meeting clients where they are'.  This means that after assessing any life-threatening issues, we try to work with pet owners to find the best possible outcome, given there specific lifestyle or budget.  We accept urgent walk-ins, referrals from other veterinarians, scheduled appointments–whatever makes sense for your pet’s needs.  If you or your veterinarian would benefit from speaking directly with one of the doctors on staff, please let staff know immediately so that we can do our best to accommodate this request.  We encourage you to call (352) 225-3501 before bringing your pet to us so that we can best prepare for this visit, or to direct you elsewhere, if we happen to be 'at capacity'.
