24/7 emergency & specialty veterinary clinics across Dallas–Fort Worth
A veterinary emergency can happen at any time — and in those critical moments, knowing where to go can save your dog's life. DFW is served by several outstanding 24-hour emergency veterinary hospitals and specialty clinics staffed by board-certified specialists and equipped with advanced diagnostic and surgical capabilities.
Seek emergency veterinary care immediately if your dog is experiencing: difficulty breathing, pale or white gums, collapse or loss of consciousness, suspected poisoning, severe trauma or injury, uncontrolled bleeding, repeated vomiting or diarrhea with blood, inability to urinate, suspected bloat (GDV), or seizures. Never wait until morning if you suspect a life-threatening emergency.
DFW emergency veterinary hospitals offer emergency surgery, critical care and ICU services, internal medicine, cardiology, oncology, neurology, orthopedic surgery, ophthalmology, and advanced imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound). Many facilities are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
We recommend saving the number of your nearest DFW emergency vet in your phone before an emergency occurs. You should also keep the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center number (888-426-4435) saved — there is a fee for consultations, but it could save your dog's life.
