A vet emergency is a hospital with an emergency room set up for the critical care of animals. Such a hospital usually operates 24/7 and provides veterinary treatment to all pets and wildlife. Just as in the human ER, pets in the vet emergency are attended to in order of priority depending on the severity of their illness or injury. In cases of critical conditions, the pet owner is required to call ahead of arrival to ensure the vet team is adequately prepared for the pet's arrival.
