VCA Dekalb-Gwinnett Animal Emergency Hospital

Our Hospital

Emergency and after-hours care when you need it.

VCA Dekalb Gwinnett Animal Emergency Hospital has been serving the after-hour needs of patients and veterinarians for over thirty years. Our experienced and dedicated veterinarians and staff are trained to handle the emergency needs of your pet during hours that your day-time veterinarian may be closed. We understand that accidents, injuries and illness do not always occur during normal business hours. Our team of talented and compassionate staff are available to you every night, weekend and holiday to ensure that expert care is always available to you.

Our facility is equipped to provide in-house laboratory diagnostics to aid in providing the right care for your pet as soon as possible. We have the experience and facility to handle most surgical emergencies on site, again avoiding delays in care. At the time of your pets discharge we provide details of your pets care both to you and your day-time veterinarian to ensure a smooth transition of care.

We understand that emergencies can never be planned for and are often a time of extreme emotional distress for pet owners. Our team will work quickly to triage your pet and communicate to you any issues or procedures that require immediate attention. Just as in a human emergency room, we must treat life-threatening emergencies first. This may result in a waiting period for more stable patients. However, our doctors and staff are dedicated to giving you and your pet our full attention, and answering all of your questions and concerns about your pet's condition.

Emergency Care

If you feel you have an emergency with your pet, and your regular veterinarian is closed, please call the emergency clinic as soon as possible at 770-491-0661.

The staff at VCA Dekalb-Gwinnett Animal Emergency Hospital will be able to give you directions and briefly discuss your animal's situation. Unfortunately, we are unable to determine if it is an emergency over the phone and leave that decision up to you. If you feel it is an emergency, then it is an emergency. Please do not be angry with the staff at the emergency clinic when they cannot give you advice over the phone. It is impossible to determine an animal's condition without seeing the animal first and all staff members are instructed not to give medical advice over the phone.
