Unlike your family veterinarian, we provide only emergency and specialty care, and do not offer any routine or preventative care such as vaccinations, annual exams, etc. Depending on the day or shift, the emergency and critical care service at VSCT can be very fast-paced, which presents a unique set of challenges in working with a variety of pets and conditions. Clients are often emotionally upset due to the strain of worrying about their pet and the staff can have many demands on their time and skills. The variety in pace, unique caseload, and emotional reward of successfully treating an ill or injured pet is what sets these veterinary emergency and critical care professionals apart.
