COVID-19 UPDATE:
In an effort to balance current CDC guidelines with our small hospital footprint, we are using a hybrid of curbside service and in-hospital appointments. Each clinical service will assess the need and access for in-hospital discussions vs curbside/phone conversations. More

UWVC Small Animal Emergency Care is not accepting new patients (dogs, cats and exotic pets) from 6pm-7am on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday each week due to staffing shortages and to ensure proper care of the hospitalized patients. ER Status and Hospitalization capacity change frequently. We highly recommend calling ahead to verify availability. We can be reached at 608-263-7600. Please seek medical help at another emergency clinic when we are closed.

A Groundbreaking project
The UW School of Veterinary Medicine is growing, and we’re constructing a new state-of-the-art facility in order to extend our research and patient care capabilities even further. This expansion and renovation will double the size of UW Veterinary Care's small animal hospital and significantly enhance the large animal hospital.
