About Us
At Central Carroll Animal Emergency, we are dedicated to providing life-saving critical and emergency care to area pets. Our mission is to offer high-quality, compassionate care that exceeds the expectations of our clients and referring veterinarians. We pride ourselves on being a progressive, team-oriented emergency hospital that sets a standard for exceptional veterinary care.
Founded in 2006 by a group of 29 local veterinary professionals, Central Carroll Animal Emergency was established to fulfill a need for trustworthy, after-hours care in Carroll County and the surrounding areas. Over the years, we have continued to evolve and grow, adapting to the changing needs of our community. In 2022, our practice manager Shannon Panzer, along with veterinarians Lindsay Vanous and Maurene Sutton, formed Vetchix, LLC and purchased the hospital, ensuring that our commitment to quality care remains unwavering.
Our team is comprised of skilled and compassionate professionals who practice innovative medicine and provide comprehensive nursing care. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ready to respond to any emergency situation. Our exam fee is $95.00, and we provide an estimate for any additional services. We encourage clients to fill out our online check-in sheet to streamline the process and ensure that we can start your paperwork prior to arrival.
We understand that waiting can be challenging, but we assure you that it is a testament to our commitment to prioritizing the most critical patients first. Our facility is also a Blood Distribution Center, offering local animal hospitals the ability to provide their patients with packed red blood cells (PRBCs) and plasma if needed.
At Central Carroll Animal Emergency, we are not just a hospital; we are a community of dedicated professionals who are passionate about serving the pets and families of Carroll County. We strive to make a difference in the lives of our furry friends and their owners, providing emergency and urgent veterinary care with compassion and expertise. Whether your pet needs immediate attention or ongoing care, we are here to help and heal.
We are proud to be a part of this community and look forward to continuing our mission of providing exceptional emergency veterinary care. Your trust in us is our greatest reward, and we are committed to earning it every day.
