We were referred to Animal ER of University Park by our pet’s surgeon. Our sweet dog needed post-op care & overnight observation so Animal ER was highly recommended. What a fabulous experience!

During our vacation in Sarasota, FL, our puppy was found lethargic at our hotel room. I found this Vet ED in Google maps and I’m so glad I did. They answered my call right away and didn’t waste anytime once we arrived. The staff and Doctor were so compassionate and professional. Thank you for making our little guy feel better. He was back to himself that same day.

They were wonderful. From start to finish all the staff were kind, competent and comfortable. They got me in quickly and took care of all my pets issues right away. They were also very communicative and I felt like I was in the loop for the whole process.

Corey was absolutely amazing. He told us to come right in, We got right in to a ro...

Yesterday my dog hurt her leg and was non weight bearing. Our regular vet would not see us so we ended up here. The entire staff was friendly and appeared to be very pet focused. Unlike other ER experiences, I felt comfortable and confident that Charlie received excellent care. I would not hesitate to use them in the future although I hope I don’t need to do so.
