NOTICE REGARDING OPERATIONS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
PLEASE CALL OUR PHONE WHEN YOU ARRIVE:
THANK YOU!
Due to the recent public health crisis, we are no longer able to allow people to accompany their pets into our hospital. We need to protect our clients as well as our staff from the viral pandemic, and so must ask for your cooperation and patience as we work to provide urgent care for your furry family members.
Once you arrive, you can fill out our Online Intake Questionnaire or our staff will take your info over the phone. A staff member will bring your pet into our treatment area for our doctors to examine. Afterwards, our doctors and technicians will call you to discuss treatment options and test results and are prepared to take payments over the phone.
Our clinic works on a system of triage - the most critical patients must be attended to first. Other patients will be seen in order of arrival.
If you are transferring from another clinic or have a pet in immediate distress, please let our staff know so we can fast track them into our hospital.
We thank you for your patience and understanding during this time as we work to keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible.

Salem Veterinary Emergency Clinic
Salem Veterinary Emergency Clinic has been a community leader in emergency veterinary medicine for almost 40 years. We are a family-owned, private practice, and the primary facility for emergency referrals from all veterinary practices in the greater Salem area.
Our mission is to provide urgent care for your beloved pets when your primary veterinarian is not available. We work with your vet to offer the very best care whenever it is needed.
We are open all night when regular clinics are closed and provide 24 hour services on weekends and holidays. There is always at least one doctor on the premises during business hours with plenty of staff available to assist you and your pets.
We are dedicated to showing compassion and understanding to all our clients and their beloved companions. Emergencies can be scary and painful, but we are here to help you and your pet through them.
