Unlike any other facility in Southwest Florida, the Animal ER at the Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida is headed by the area’s only Board-Certified Specialist in Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care), Dr. Ashley Ayoob.  Similarly, Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida has the only emergency facility that is supported by a broad field of veterinary specialists (surgery, internal medicine, neurology, and oncology) in Southwest FL. Our emergency room is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 day a year with an experienced emergency doctor or specialist always present in the hospital to care for incoming dogs or cats or for those pets that remain hospitalized for continued care. The hospital is staffed by experienced emergency doctors at night and on weekends, with specialist support and consultation available 24/7/365. A Board-Certified Radiologist is always available for radiographic interpretation of imaging studies.

Our emergency veterinarians provide initial stabilization and advanced life support to critically ill and injured dogs and cats in conjunction with our Board-Certified Specialists to diagnose, treat and optimize your pet’s speedy recovery.  Our emergency veterinarians and specialists are experienced in the acute resuscitation of trauma patients as well as those exposed to toxins and infectious disease. At the Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida, we understand that this is a stressful and frightening time for both you and your companion. Our aim is to provide state-of-the-art compassionate care to dogs and cats for a diverse range of medical and surgical emergencies in a personalized setting to allow for as stress-free of an experience as possible.
