Welcome to VETSS online.

Veterinary Emergency Treatment Services & Specialty (VETSS) has been providing emergency treatment services to small animals in Charlottesville and the surrounding region, since 1989.

VETSS is staffed by veterinarians, licensed veterinary technicians, and assistants who are specially trained in emergency and critical care medicine. A veterinarian is present at all times to personally supervise the care of your pet and make decisions regarding treatment.

VETSS does not provide wellness examinations, routine vaccinations or procedures such as spaying or neutering.

VETSS will be moving twice before the end of this year. Note that our staff will not change and there will be no gap in emergency services.  Our phone number (434-973-3519) will remain the same at all times.

We are operating briefly out of the Hydraulic Road Animal Hospital, while our new facility is being finished and our second move, taking place in late 2009, will be to our permit location on Airport Road in Charlottesville.

Please visit the Hours and Directions page for more details.

Expanded Services:
We will be expanding, beyond emergency treatment services, to offer specialty treatment services by the beginning of 2010.  Updated information will be listed under Services Offered.
