Not every health concern is an emergency—but that doesn’t mean it should wait. At Veterinary Emergency Services in Verona, VA, we provide same-day urgent veterinary care for dogs, cats, and select exotic pets experiencing illness, discomfort, or minor injuries.
From vomiting and ear infections to limping or behavioral changes, our team can quickly assess your pet’s condition and begin treatment. With 24/7 availability and in-house diagnostics, we’re here when your pet needs care sooner—not later.

Because we are also a 24/7 emergency hospital, patients are triaged by medical urgency. Pets with life-threatening conditions are treated first, which may result in a short wait for non-critical concerns. To help us prepare and reduce your wait time, please call ahead.
In addition to our emergency care services, we treat the following urgent concerns:
Vomiting, diarrhea, or a sudden loss of appetite can be early signs of infection, dietary issues, or something more serious. We’ll pinpoint the cause quickly and help your pet feel more comfortable.
Limping, sprains, or cuts can interfere with your pet’s daily routine. Early care helps prevent pain from escalating or infection from setting in.
Head shaking, scratching at the ears, or foul-smelling discharge often point to an infection that can quickly become painful or spread deeper into the ear canal.
If your pet seems unusually tired, slow to move, or uninterested in normal activities, it could be the first sign of illness or pain.
A frequent or lingering cough that affects your pet’s normal activity, appetite, or rest may need urgent attention. We’ll examine them and determine the best course of care.
Straining to urinate or frequent attempts without success may signal a UTI or urinary blockage—especially urgent in male cats.
Yes, when possible, we strongly recommend calling ahead. This allows our team to prepare for your pet’s arrival, prioritize care appropriately, and help ensure a smoother experience once you walk through the door.
We accept cash, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and CareCredit. We also accept all forms of pet insurance. Please note: Payment is due at the time of service. VES does not offer in-house payment plans.
We triage patients by urgency. Pets in critical condition are seen immediately, while those in stable condition may have a short wait depending on case severity. Our goal is always safe, timely care for every patient.
