When your pet is injured, obtaining rapid x-ray results may be critical. Our hospital is equipped with on-site digital radiology equipment. This latest technology allows us to examine your dog or cat's skeletal, organ, cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, reproductive, and urinary systems.
This is a non-invasive procedure that does not require your pet to be under anesthesia and allows the veterinarian to get a better look at the conditions that may be affecting your pet.The image quality of a digital x-ray is much higher than a film x-ray and can be visualized by us within a few seconds following exposure.

It is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and is staffed by skilled, trained technicians 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Complete blood analysis including CBC counts, platelet estimates, serum and plasma testing.
We may recommend an ultrasound examination for your pet if we need a clear view of your pet's organs. An ultrasound exam is a safe, non-invasive, diagnostic test that allows our veterinarians to look inside your pet's body without having to perform surgery. Your pet usually does not need to be under anesthesia for the ultrasound exam.

We had to make the very difficult decision to euthanize our dog due to a ruptured spleen and cancer that had metastasized to his lungs. After paying over the phone, we were allowed to come inside to be with our dog during the euthanasia procedure. We were stunned when the vet tech brought us the WRONG dog. We informed the tech of the mistake, she apologized and shut the door. We could hear her shouting at someone that they had sent her with the wrong dog. My mind was racing. Where was my dog? Was my dog still alive? Was the prognosis I was given for my dog accurate? Several minutes later, It was

We had to bring our 21year old kitty to cross the rainbow bridge. They were amazing to us and to her. They gave us plenty of time with her before and after and never made us feel rushed. We called our normal vet with still 2 weeks later no return call and lots of places were not taking new patients which i understand. But affiliated got us right in amd the care they had was impecable! ❤❤

Ashley the front desk receptionist and Dr Rachel we're so very kind with empathy and consideration for my cat, Christmas. She was 12 years old and was sick and they helped her cross the bridge peacefully. I am sad that I lost my cat but without them I'm sure the road would have been rougher. I appreciate them so very much. I would definitely come here again for any services that I needed for my pets.

First of all, the message you have to listen to at the beginning is very unprofessional. They state, "our staff are tired" amongst a 2-minute-long monotone recording - it's a very condescending message. Took our dog to this business yesterday after he was unable to eat for several days. You have to wait in the car, which was not told prior to our arrival, neither was any indication of an EXTREMELY long wait time. Over the phone, 4 hours later, they told us our dog had a mass on his spleen and liver, "So we can euthanize tonight, or you can take him home and wait a few days." They told us our dog

If I could give zero stars, I would. We were waiting for just under 3 hours and every time we called for an update, we kept being told that there was one pet in front of us. We were then told by Sam that since our dog was stable, we had to keep waiting. There was no sense of urgency and it was a “it is what it is” attitude, especially every time we were transferred to Sam. Our puppy’s issue could’ve possibly only taken about 7-10 min at the most to resolve, instead we just kept getting pushed back. I understand that animals may come in that are in critical condition but even a phone call

Please don’t take your animal here if they are experiencing a critical emergency. The recording when I called should have been my first clue, but I was in a panic so I settled for this dump. It’s not an emergency vet. Their website advertises critical patients being seen IMMEDIATELY, but it took four HOURS for my dog to be seen while he had been ACTIVELY BLEEDING from a several inch laceration. I was terrified he would bleed out in the car. They don’t even come out to assess the severity of the situation. The front desk is incompetent and rude. I will absolutely never return. My stomach is

I took my husky here after noticing he stopped eating and couldn’t keep water down. He lost so much weight and I was scared it would take a turn for the worst. I found this place with a quick google search and went right away. I got there at 8am on a Saturday and waited for hours. But I expected this due to this being a walk-in clinic in a way. However, we were not seen until 10pm. In between 8-10, I ended up going to Bansfield for help which showed he had a blockage. I assumed they emergency vet had forgotten about us so I called back for an eta. Turns out they had the wrong number and called

We had to make the difficult decision to put our 16 year old Westie to sleep yesterday. Everyone at affiliated was a joy to be around, they were kind, compassionate, and very professional about the whole situation. While we still lost our baby they made the experience a lot easier on our whole family. The vet explained the entire process to us before she administered the medication and was very compassionate about our situation. Their cremation service is also wonderful, they returned her ashes not even 24 hours after she passed and they were also very kind and compassionate. They even returned

So my dog was mauled by a pit bull and hes only a small, 7 year old, yorkie poodle. We took our dog here and they were so supportive and kind throughout the entire process. Minus the long wait (which they could not control, and not mad about!) I am so happy they took care of our little man. They explained his care process thoroughly (no matter how many times we asked), they were very clear about the financial responsibilities (expensive but we def understood), they were kind and gentle to our dog and were so emotionally understanding the entire time. Every time we called they were eager to update

The staff was very emotionally supportive during this hard time for me. My dog was almost 16 years old and this is where I brought her to be put to sleep. I couldn't have imagined it going any better. It was hard finding an affortable euthanasia & cremation and be in the room due to COVID. Total was $480.(***This hospital will let you in the room during euthanasia.)The staff and the assistants were very understanding of my loss and were very sweet during the process. When I arrived there was a 6 hour wait but due to this being a euthanasia, we were taken in almost immediately. Staff gave us time
