Pet emergencies are one of a pet owner's biggest fears. However, once you're in the middle of a pet emergency, it's important to be able to find an emergency vet near you. Luckily, Pet Vets 247 is here to help! To find an emergency vet near you, here's what you need to do.

1. Click on the state that you're in from the directory below.
2. Find the city or region that's closest to you in proximity.
3. Click the Visit Clinic button of the clinic of your choice to access their contact information, hours, directions, and website.
4. Not all cities in every state have been included because emergency vets often aren't available in smaller regions.

As a general rule, cities and towns with fewer than 50,000 people have limited emergency pet resources. So, if you go to your local vet clinic and your emergency is bigger than what they can handle, they will send you to the nearest emergency clinic anyways.

The advantage of going directly to one of the emergency clinics on our list is that they're often available 24/7 every day of the year. Emergency vet clinics also have skilled staff on hand that is accustomed to all manner of emergencies.

Once you know which clinic is closest to you, you should give them a call and alert them that you're inbound. Even larger clinics and hospitals prefer when you give them a heads up so they can prepare to receive you. Depending on your pet's emergency, they may have to call in off-duty vets or for additional support.
