emergency vet

Urgent animal doctor

An emergency vet is a veterinarian or veterinary clinic that treats animals outside regular business hours—nights, weekends, and holidays.

Unlike standard veterinary practices, emergency vets handle urgent cases: poisoning, trauma, sudden illness, difficult births.

The dog ate chocolate at midnight, so we rushed to the emergency vet.

Also called an emergency animal hospital.
