Emergency and Urgent Vet Care at Daniel Island Animal Hospital

Is your pet experiencing a medical emergency? At Daniel Island Animal Hospital, we understand how frightening it can be when your pet is in distress. While we are not a 24/7 emergency hospital, we do our best to accommodate urgent and same-day emergency cases during our regular business hours—if capacity allows.

If your pet is in crisis, please call us immediately at 843-881-7228 so we can assess the situation and let you know if we can help right away.

If we are unable to accept emergency cases at the time of your call, we will refer you to the nearest 24/7 emergency animal hospital.

After-Hours & Overflow Emergency Referrals

If your emergency occurs after hours, or we are at capacity, we recommend contacting the following 24/7 emergency animal hospitals. We have partnered with Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) for after-hours triage phone calls. Your call will be directed to a VEG veterinary professional if you need assistance when our office is closed.

After-hours and intensive emergency, medical, and surgical care is provided by multiple local hospitals throughout the Lowcountry. We recommend VEG for general emergencies and Blue Pearl Pet Hospital or CVRC for emergencies requiring a specialist.

These trusted partners are equipped to handle critical cases at any time of day or night.
