24/7 Emergency & Critical Care

If you believe your pet is experiencing an emergency situation, please call us immediately at (732) 747-3636 or come right down to our hospital located at: 100 Schulz Drive Red Bank, NJ 07701.

Red Bank Veterinary Hospital provides 24-hour emergency & critical care 365 days a year. This service is open to all small animal companion pets in need of immediate medical attention. Experienced veterinarians are always on premises, assisted by technicians trained in emergency and critical care. Together, they handle a wide range of medical and surgical emergencies.

Red Bank Veterinary Hospital has the same goals as human emergency rooms: stabilize, treat, and monitor patients. Patient care and client satisfaction are our top priorities. We understand each pet is accompanied by a concerned owner, and we take the time to comfort both of you.

Our emergency team utilizes the most current diagnostic and surgical technology to evaluate and stabilize patients. We have access to advanced diagnostics, such as endoscopy, MRI, and CT. Emergency surgery can be performed any time of the day or night.

If you think your pet is sick or injured and you’re not sure what to do, contact Red Bank Veterinary Hospital. Our experienced triage technicians assess the situation and determine whether your pet needs to be seen by a member of our emergency staff.
