Jeffersonville Urgent & Emergency Veterinary Care Services

AAHA-Accredited Care Keeps Your Pet in Good Hands

Let’s face it—pets are family.

At Eastside Animal Hospital, we understand how frightening it can be when pets are sick or injured. And like people, a pet’s medical needs don’t always arise at the most convenient times.

For over 50 years, we have provided Jeffersonville, Southern Indiana, and Central Kentucky with urgent and emergency care services. Opening early and closing late, we provide greater access to the compassionate care you’ve come to know and expect from us.

Is your pet sick and in need of immediate evaluation? Give us a call at (812) 370-5617.

How to Deal with a Pet Emergency

It's always scary when you furry family member needs emergency medical attention. Our Jeffersonville emergency veterinarians are here to help your pet. We also want to offer a few words of advice when handling an unexpected pet crisis.

Here are a few steps to take when handling a pet emergency:

• Breathe & Stay Calm - This can be difficult, but it's important to focus on the task at hand which is paying close attention to the circumstances surrounding your pet's medical emergency.
• Take a Closer Look at the Problem - This can be as simple as a visual inspection. Depending on the nature of your pet's injuries, the problem may not be so obvious.
• Does this Require an Immediate Trip to the Vet? - When in doubt, call your veterinarian. However, sometimes a situation calls for close monitoring and other times a more aggressive approach. Every emergency case is different.
