Emergency Care

Here When Your Regular Vet Is Closed

Lubbock Small Animal Emergency Clinic is open nights, weekends, and holidays to provide life-saving care when your primary vet is unavailable. As the only after-hours emergency animal hospital within 200 miles, we serve as a vital resource for pet parents across West Texas. Whether it’s a sudden illness, injury, or unexplained behavior, we’re ready to assess and treat your pet with urgency and compassion.

Experienced in Critical, Complex Cases

Our team is trained exclusively in emergency veterinary medicine. We’re prepared to handle high-stress, high-stakes cases like bloat (GDV), seizures, trauma, heatstroke, breathing issues, or toxin ingestion. We begin triage the moment your pet arrives to prioritize the most urgent needs and stabilize them as quickly as possible.

Call Ahead If You Can

If your pet is experiencing an emergency, please call Lubbock Small Animal Emergency Clinic before arriving, if possible. This allows our team to prepare for your arrival and provide immediate attention upon entry. We understand emergencies are stressful—for both you and your pet—and we’re here to guide you through it with clear communication, compassion, and urgency.

Equipped for Emergency Surgery and Critical Care

In addition to diagnostics and stabilization, Lubbock Small Animal Emergency Clinic also provides emergency surgery and intensive care for pets in critical condition. Our facility is equipped for advanced procedures, and our trained team remains on alert to respond to life-threatening situations quickly. Whether it’s internal bleeding, a foreign body, or trauma, we’re ready to step in and help.

We Work Closely With Your Primary Care Veterinarian

Continuity of care is a priority. Lubbock Small Animal Emergency Clinic works directly with your pet’s primary care veterinarian to ensure seamless follow-up. Our goal is not to replace your regular vet—but to support them and you during critical times. After your emergency visit, we’ll provide detailed records and recommendations for next steps.
