Animal Emergency Center Of Las Vegas And Henderson

The staff here is genuinely caring. I am truly amazed at how much effort they put into looking after your animals, as if it were theirs. Dr. O'Dae is amazing, and his experience in the veterinary services will put you at ease as he works to help your pets with whatever happened to them. He is truly knowledgeable and I recommend this place 100% Read Less

Amazing experience here. My dog was attacked by another dog while on our morning walk, and they were able to get her in quickly and all stitched up. I was worried about her recovery that afternoon and called them back three times like a crazy person, and they were friendly and helpful each time. Never got short or rude with me even though I was asking a lot of the same questions. The vet even called me at the end of her shift to check in on us. Truly awesome customer service and overall treatment. Read Less

Awesome place to go after hours. My vet highly recommended this place and I am glad I listened to him. Everyone was so compassionate and professional. They were a bit busy but the wait time wasn't too bad for an ER visit as I was expecting to wait at least and hour prior to seeing the doctor. The doctor checked out my dog (who was vomiting all day) and gave us multiple options. We chose to take x-rays because Cherub likes to chew up everything. Luckily they were clear so she was given some medications and some fluids under the skin and the next day she was all better. The doctor even called the next day to check on Cherub. I will definitely go back if I have an emergency when my vet is closed. Read Less

I brought my sick dog in on New Year’s Day. The staff was kind and compassionate, which was an immediate relief for me as I had never been there before. I was taken into a room after waiting only a few minutes. They tended to my dog quickly and gently, and kept me well informed of her progress and recovery while she spent the night there. It warmed my heart when they shared my enthusiasm and relief with every little improvement during my dogs recovery. I called them a few times during the night and every staff member I spoke to was well informed about the animals in their care. And they were always happy to update me and answer my questions. This was top-notch care that I have not experienced at other veterinary hospitals. I wish I could bring all my animals there for regular vet visits. As much as I hope to not have another emergency, I’m comforted to know I can count the doctors and techs at the animal ER. Thank you guys so much for saving my fur baby’s life!!! Read Less

They took my baby in right away and I didn't have a wait. We were in for a ruptured anal gland (poor baby) and the whole way there I felt awful and a little scared because I didn't know what had happened. Angela was welcoming and walked me right into a room where I handed my baby over to be treated. She actually calmed down my internal fears with some education and has provided me with vet referrals since I'm newer here. Great conversationalist and funny, eased my mind from what was going on with my baby girl.Prior to payment, they provide you with a break down of what's to be administered. My total came to about $543 which is steep but A: it's an emergency pet hospital and B: you don't "shop around" in an emergency. Great, friendly staff. I feel they treated my girl with the upmost care and I had her back in my arms within the hour. I can NOT thank you guys enough!! Read Less

Memorial Day weekend, Sunday, 1130pm. My pup Winston had terrible diarrhea and was acting strange and clearly not comfortable. After looking over reviews from other 24 hour vets I decided on AEC. Walked in was greeted pleasantly and immediately went into the exam room, after some paperwork Winston was checked over by the Vet Tech and then Dr. Farnsworth. Both were caring and compassionate. After going over a few options they worked with me to find a treatment that I could swing $ wise without making me feel cheap. I see some reviews upset about the estimates, my response would be that its a BUSINESS and these professionals were there to answer the call when basically my son (Winston) wasn't feeling well at a very strange time. Cherry on the top was when Dr. Farnsworth took the time to follow up with a check in phone call the next day. A+ and  I hope I don't need to, but if so I'll be back with any issues with my lil dude.

This place is absolutely incredible. Our family dog passed away suddenly, both while on vacation here and late at night. We had no idea what to do or where to go, until a family friend suggested this facility. They handled our dog and the entire ordeal with such delicacy and sympathy. We could not have asked for a better staff and better outcome, considering. Read Less

Thanks to dr o'dea my baby is running and jumping all over the place. He was attacked by a big dog and he is only 3 pound yorkie I was devastated when I arrived to the animal emergency center and dr o'dea and his staff took care of him right away. That night I couldn't sleep and Michelle the vet assistant answered my phone calls every hour that I called because my baby had to spent the night. He had a very serious bite and a broken rib honestly was very scary and they thought was to take 2 months for him to recover but after 2 weeks all of that is behind and just a bad memory. I will highly recommend this place to bring your pet in case of an emergency. Read Less

Dr. O'dea- we are so grateful to him. My daughter's pup is being trained as a service dog, which is a huge investment financially and emotionally. Somehow, he swallowed a skinny nail (which one of our children saw, thankfully, so that we were aware as soon as it happened- we have no idea why it is was in that location, we thought we had puppy proofed). Dr. O'dea spent several hours trying to retrieve the nail without a surgical option, (induced vomiting and endoscopy) but unfortunately, surgery became necessary. He was very fair in pricing the failed attempts. Read Less

If you like to over pay you are more then welcome here! They will charge you for overpriced meds you can get cheaper they take advantage of animal lovers in emergency- do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Read Less

This is a wonderful emergency clinic to bring your beloved pet. Could not have been happier with the love and care they provided our miniature schnauzer, in his time if need. Very knowledgeable vet with a great bed side manner, and lovely staff. Highly recommend!!!  Open all night for emergencies! Read Less

Excellent experience all around! Top notch doctors and staff. Dr. O'Dea is professional, experienced, and honest. They made a stressful situation much more bearable and got my little Nina all fixed up. Thank you Animal Emergency Center! Read Less

I guess in the end we live in a society that find it ok to make animal owner have to decide to put his animal down, because they don't have money...As I read all the reviews, there are one to many of people complaining of these. Didn't this people go to Vetenerian school because they Love animals? I have nothing bad to say about the service, except the Vet himself could use some bedside manner. He showed no empathy, no feelings. We really need to change this, This people were ok with me putting my animal down just because I couldn't afford to pay 3k on the spot, offering only to apply for a credit card. Total Greed... Would I take any animals here or recommend this to anyone, only because in this place the focus is on $$ and not on saving animals life... Read Less

Awesome Vet and great staff! We had to bring our Blue Tick Coon Hound here, Saturday @ 10:00 For a toenail that wouldn't stop bleeding after 4 or 5 hours. Dr. James O'Day cauterized the toe nail and put a really good bandage on that he didn't either bother to try to chew off. And they trimmed all of his nails which were really long. The dog is mixed-martial artist, and very sneaky, so how they did it is beyond me. This is an all night clinic, which seems better for the animals and more convenient for us.The office is really clean, very organized and has a nice staff. The price seem really reasonable for us showing up at 10:00 pm with no appointment. This will be our new vet. Thank you, Dr. O'Day! Read Less

Just brought my dog here because while I was at sunset park he started puking then fainted. The Girl at the front desk was extremely rude. I was the only person here and she found it more important to focus on her paperwork and typing than to listen to what I was telling her. Didn't make eye contact with me the entire time. I asked her if I should wait for her to finish her work and she said "No, I can do both". I turned around and left. Rather wait for the morning and take him to my usual vet. Read Less

The woman at the front desk around 6pm on 9/5 is the most lovely, empathetic human being I've encountered in a long time. Sorry I did not get her name. She helped me after I brought in a loose dog that I had hit with my car (dog seemed to be OK). I was extremely upset about having to surrender the poor darling without ever knowing what would happen to her. She had a collar on, so I'm hopeful someone is looking for her. Trying not to think about her being turned over to a high kill shelter. Anyway, the person who helped me was very compassionate and made the situation easier than it might have been. Thank you.

The loveliest, most wonderful people in the business. We have a long history with them back to the time they first opened and I had issues with my miniature schnauzers. Last weekend I had to take in one of our guinea pigs who was lethargic and not breathing well. The staff fought valiantly to get him stabilized for surgery on a urethral obstruction. Alas, the wee guy did not make it, but we did expect this based on the initial exam. Dr O'Dea never sugar coated anything and gave me several treatment options. I was free to chose what to do. Nothing was pushed on me. And when our sweet Rose passed, they called to refund part of the payment for the procedures they did not perform. Thank you to everyone at Animal Emergency Center!

GF and I were woken up around 3am by Raven vomiting. She was severely retching and was experiencing dyspnea. We brought her to AEC where we were warmly greeted by the front desk lady, Angela. She got us set up in one of the room and told us someone would be with us shortly. After a few minutes the nurse came in and took Raven's history for Dr. O'Dea. She was so sweet!  She kept reassuring us that everything would be okay. In addition, she seemed more distraught about our puppy being sick than we were. She truly displayed a high level of compassion and empathy. We were helped by Dr. O'Dea DVM who was the medical director of AEC. He was very clear on his plan of action and walked us through what his thoughts were. He said we would start with parvo ELISA test first to rule that out immediately, then run multiple view of X-ray to rule out GI obstructions, and then finally blood tests if nothing else is found. Everything was done in a timely manner, but we didn't leave until 5:30am because we were waiting on a board certified radiologist to read the radiographs. Dr. O'Dea asked me if I was in the medical field and I told him I would be starting medical school soon. He seemed to ease up a bit and he began going more into the specifics. He walked us to the back room and showed me the high definition radiographs. He scrolled through the different views and showed me a suspicious object in the jejunum. He said that it could be something as benign as fecal matter/gas or it could be a foreign body... but the reason he was worried was because he noticed faint striations. After showing us the radiographs, he started to explain the medicine in more depth. He mentioned that he was going to administer Unasyn which would target a broader range of bacterium (certain gram +, gram -, and anaerobes) than Flagyl (anaerobes). I loved that he was explaining everything in great detail so that I could have a better understanding of what's going on. All in all, I was very happy with the care I received at AEC. Every staff member that I spoke to was nothing short of amazing. In addition, Dr. O'Dea was straight forward and honest with me. The cost set me back $1,144 which is pretty steep, but I'd rather pay one thousand now than several thousand dollars for more invasive treatment later. Read Less

Let me start with the fact that the flamboyant receptionist at the front should NOT be working at a place where people come in upset and distraught. He is the entire reason I REALLY hated this place. I came here on Monday night because my sweet baby of 19 years was having MAJOR breathing problems. Now, mind you, none of you out there know my 19 year old cat. Just the day before she was her spunky self. It was almost like she was having seizures, and even fell off the bed and she started moaning. The reason I went to this place is I had picked up a magnet and it was on my fridge. They put her on oxygen, and an hour later, because I could only come up with half of the money I was told they couldn't do anything more. Now guess what, do you REALLY think I am going to read the fine print that you do not do payment plans. I came in sobbing...you TELL ppl these things. I know they did NOT do any type of exam even tho I was charged $153 still. And now my baby for the past 3 days has had 6 more episodes. The vet seemed overly tired, although she was nice, and the vet tech was great. BUT, the dude, well, he was reason I left bawling as well. A complete jerk. Do yourself a favor and research before you go here, and if you do go there, hopefully that guy has been fired by now. It was appalling!!!! I am new to Vegas and hadn't researched yet. Read Less

On 1/3/2016 at 3am, I had to rush our beloved Shadow due to a nose bleed that wouldn't stop. She had previously been diagnosed with liver disease which led to this problem. Unfortunately she would need blood transfusions. Due to her age (15) and health we made the decision to let her go. The nurse comforted my daughter while I stayed with my furbaby to the end. The nurses were very compassionate and caring. They made sure I knew my options and costs . My only question was why the Dr would charge $85.00 to talk to me. Since we knew the worse was happening the consultation was not necessary. Read Less

I took my Bella Baby here on Christmas day after she snuck some Christmas treats from under the tree. They were very busy but everyone was nice and caring. They were able to give my little girl some medicine so i could take her home and continue celebrating Christmas with her. Thanks a ton Animal Emergency Center for keeping the grinch from ruining my holiday. You guys are the best! Read Less

I had to come here last night as my 2 year old dog fell off the couch and landed wrong.  She was screaming in pain and I was completely inconsolable.  I went to Animal Emergency Center and Emma was seen very quickly.  I was quite upset upon arrival but the lady at the desk and Mr. Odea were more than kind.  They reassured me she would be fine and tried to joke to make me feel better.  They were very personable and I couldn't be more thankful for this. I followed up with my normal vet this morning and she said Dr. O'Dea did a great job with the cast/splint.  The whole incident cost $755 which is not very ideal for my financial situation but as it was around 3:30am I didn't have much of a choice.If you need medical attention for your four-legged friend I would highly recommend this vet even though it may be on the pricey side but what can you expect, it is Emergency Care.

My bulldog Bo started vomiting blood after he got into some turkey on Thanksgiving. My regular vet was closed due to the Holiday and their answering service referred me to this place. I called and the receptionist told me to come right in. They were very busy but everyone was so nice and calming. They were able to run some tests right away to make sure nothing serious was going on and after some treatments I was able to take Bo home with some medications. Their prices were not too much more than my regular veterinarian. It was nice to be able to get my sick Bo seen on a Holiday and a relief to know that they are open whenever my vet is closed. Thank you Animal Emergency Center for saving my Thanksgiving! Read Less

No sense of urgency. The Vet I dealt with, Dr Misraji, wasted all this precious time while bombarding me with irrelevant medical jargon. It was an emergency situation, Im sobbing my eyes out, and she is slowly, painfully, bleeding out each sentence as if she's trying to explain algebra to a child or teach a knitting class. I was dying for quick answers and straightforward talk, and she kept talking in slow rambling, painful, long circles with huge medical explanations, like she was giving a report in school. I seriously almost wondered if she wanted my dog to die while she talked and talked. I was so frustrated. The staff made no eye contact and were not kind. The bill was totally outrageous beyond words- $415 for honestly, basically nothing except a simple look inside my dog's throat and an hour of talking. I paid $300 for X-rays that didn't even show up on the disc they gave me, and she didn't even explain or show them. I was in too much of a hurry to care. I went straight to another emergency vet afterwards, all the way across town! To tropicana and durango- and got the help I needed, a diagnosis, two take home prescriptions, simple, straightforward, to the point, quick talk with a real sense of urgency, and all at 25% the cost of this place. One star because at least they are open during emergency hours and it's better than nothing hopefully for more simple emergencies (?) and there are probably other vets there that speak clearly, quickly, and in simple terms to distraught pet owners.
