Emergency/Critical Care

Our Emergency and Critical Care team is on site 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

You know your pet the best. If your pet is hurt or ill, the sooner they are seen by a veterinarian, the better. Prompt medical care at a 24-hour emergency veterinary hospital can alleviate unnecessary suffering and pain for your pet. Our highly-trained, caring veterinary staff is here to provide the best emergency diagnostics and care for your animals in Honolulu and throughout Hawaii.

Our Emergency veterinarians and board certified Critical Care veterinarians are available 24/7/365, anytime your regular veterinarian is not available or when the scope of the injury/illness requires specialized veterinary skills or equipment. Patients in our ICU are never left unattended and you can rest assured that as your pet recovers, he or she will be cared for at all times.

What to do in an Emergency:

Call or Come In:

345 N. Nimitz Hwy, Unit C Honolulu, HI 96817

Our team is always available, day or night. We are open on holidays and weekends.
