Emergencies

Beginning April 30th, 2021 we will no longer offer after hours on call service.

After 45 years of providing after hours care for your pets there have been big strides in the standard of care in Veterinary Medicine.  One of which is emergency medicine.  Due to this our on-call service has evolved over time. While we have always been proud to provide on call service, most calls we receive are pets that need care at a staffed 24/7 hospital.  Please be sure to familiarize yourself with these emergency hospitals, so if the need arises you are prepared.

Any pets requiring after hour emergency care will need to utilize one of the nearby 24 hour Emergency Hospitals:

• • AVETS: 412-373-4200  https://www.avets.com/ 
  • PVSEC:  412-366-3400 https://bluepearlvet.com/hospital/pittsburgh-north-hills-pa/
  • MedVet: 724-717-2273 https://www.medvetforpets.com/location/medvet-pittsburgh/
  • Cheat Lake:  304-594-1124  https://www.cheatlakevets.com/about-clah/emergency-vet/

 In most cases we are unable to provide emergency services to non-client/patients.  If we have never seen your pet before, please take them to the nearest, staffed 24 hour emergency hospital.  

If your pet should experience an emergency during normal business hours, please contact us immediately.  

East Suburban Animal Hospital is not a staffed 24-hour hospital
