My Beagle ate some meds and was sick and trembling. I took him in about 7pm and was done by 11pm. My buddy was so much better. The doctor went over everything with me and went out of her way to help my dog. He's doing so much better. This will be the only emergency Vet I will ever see. Thank you all! Charles Free

Unfortunately, our 2 year old Penny got sick on the weekend. Fortunately, North Alabama Veterinary Emergency was available to help her. They provided excellent care and were very professional. They even contacted our primary vet's office to notify them of our emergency. I would highly recommend this place to take special care of your furry family members.
