About Us
At Animal Emergency and Specialty Center, we are dedicated to providing exceptional emergency, critical care, and specialty services to the pets of the Truckee Meadows area. Established in 1992, our mission is to deliver compassionate and state-of-the-art veterinary medicine 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our journey began with a simple yet profound commitment to caring for animals in their time of need. We started with two full-time veterinarians and a handful of staff, and over the years, we have grown to include nine full-time veterinarians, three board-certified specialists, and over 30 support staff. Our team is passionate about staying up to date with the latest advances in emergency medicine, ensuring that every patient receives the best possible treatment.
We take a team approach to managing difficult cases, working together to provide comprehensive care. Our doctors attend continuing education meetings and engage in ongoing professional development to ensure that our services are always at the forefront of veterinary medicine. Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with all the necessary machines and technology to handle a wide range of emergency situations, from seizures and brain tumors to spinal problems and more.
Our services include full-service emergency medical care, specialty care, and critical care. We offer cardiology and surgical specialty services, ensuring that your pet receives the specialized attention they need. While referrals for specialty cases are not required, we recommend that you first visit your family veterinarian for initial guidance. In the case of an emergency, if your family veterinarian is unavailable, please contact us immediately.
At Animal Emergency and Specialty Center, we understand that every emergency situation is unique. That's why we encourage you to call us for advice on how to best move your pet in an emergency. We are fully staffed with licensed veterinary technicians and veterinarians around the clock, ready to provide the care your pet needs.
We are committed to providing exceptional care with compassion and dedication. Our goal is to make a difference in the lives of the pets and their owners in our community. We invite you to trust us with the care of your beloved pets, knowing that you are in good hands with our experienced and caring team.
