Welcome to VETS

Veterinary Emergency Treatment Service, Inc. (VETS) was originally established by a group of local veterinarians to provide convenient after-hours care for their clients and patients. Over the past two decades, VETS has evolved into a state-of-the-art critical care facility dedicated to providing emergency care to all the small animals in Charlottesville and the surrounding region.

VETS does not provide wellness examinations, routine vaccinations or procedures such as spaying or neutering.

VETS is staffed by veterinarians, technicians, and assistants who are specially trained in emergency medicine. During all hours of operation, there is a veterinarian present to personally supervise the care of your pet and make decisions regarding treatment. We understand that emergency situations are stressful and that bringing your pet to an unfamiliar location can add to your apprehension. All copies of medical records, radiographs, and other pertinent findings will be sent to your regular veterinarian, so that together, we can offer you complete care for your pet.
