Emergency care we provide on-site in Rock Hill
Digital X-ray and in-house lab
Bloodwork, urinalysis, and X-rays run here while you wait, so treatment starts the same visit instead of days later.
Stabilization and IV fluids
Oxygen, IV fluids, pain control, and monitoring for pets that arrive in distress.
Walk-ins, 7 days a week
No appointment needed for an emergency. Call on your way so the team can have a room and a doctor ready.
Pets that need overnight monitoring after stabilization are transferred to a 24-hour hospital, and we send your records with you.
Why Rock Hill pet owners come here first
A dedicated overnight ER is the right place at 2 AM. During the day and evening, most emergencies can be handled here, close to home, by a doctor you can see again for follow-up, at a fraction of the cost of a specialty ER.
