Pet Heroes

AMAZING!! We arrived at 3am and the staff was incredible, from the intake nurse to the doctor herself. They put our doggie’s name on the little patient board… it was adorable.

The ER fee was super cheap… under $100.

Complimentary snacks and water in the waiting room.

A client’s dog passed away while we were at the hospital and the intake nurse sat with the client for a long while comforting her and literally let the client cry on her shoulder.

The hospital sent our dog’s health report/documents over to our regular vet while we were still there in the hospital and out vet (Heart of Suwanee) followed up 7days later per the ER vet’s directions.

All in all- Fantastic experience. – Tiffany Nelms

Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care

When your pet needs urgent medical care, you can turn to NGVS’s fully staffed Emergency and Critical Care Department at any time, day or night – no appointment necessary.

Our highly trained team of emergency doctors and technical staff is available 24/7 to provide expert care when a pet is critically ill or injured, or when your family veterinarian isn’t available. Our emergency team is backed by on-call specialists around the clock, so if your pet’s condition requires even more advanced care, we’ve got you covered.

In addition, if your pet needs continuous monitoring and treatment, our state-of-the-art intensive care unit is staffed by a veterinarian at all times, 24 hours a day.

Equally important, you can trust that we’ll treat your pet with the same kindness that we would our own. And we’ll be here to guide you every step of the way, with respectful, open communication.
