Pet Emergency Treatment service was established in 1978 by the local veterinarians and is supported by the veterinarians in the Anchorage area. It is designed to provide the best possible emergency medical and surgical services for your pet when your regular veterinarian is not available. We have recently moved to a state of the art facility in 2006.
Pet Emergency Treatment is open 24 hours to provide emergency and critical care. It is the intention of the service to specialize predominantly in the emergency treatment of sick and injured animals. We work closely with your pets regular veterinarian and send our findings to them for follow up care.
What is an emergency? Any unforeseen medical or surgical problem your pet may have which you determine requires professional attention. A few examples include fight wounds, porcupine encounters, severe coughing, vomiting and or diarrhea, bleeding, any accident, poisoning, or other severe or acute disorders.
Pet Emergency Treatment also has a migratory bird permit which allows us to temporarily treat migratory birds; which includes eagles, owls, and other wild birds.
In 2007 the staff at Pet Emergency Treatment Inc. successfully completed a rigorous, voluntary accreditation process through the American Animal Hospital Association. This process required that the hospital meet specific, nationally recognized standards in various aspects of veterinary medicine. These included surgery, emergency medicine, client service, medical records, pain management, patient care, diagnostic imaging, and continuing education. This accreditation is only shared with about 13% of veterinary hospitals across the country and we are proud to be one of them.
