“We came here today in a rush for our sweet girl Aspen. She consumed a bag of trash containing chicken bones and cherry pits, both of which are toxic to dogs. Jenny was one of the team of vets working with Aspen. They ended up giving her an injection to make her vomit up a couple cups of trash. Jenny gave us updates and kept us calm and Eden was very pleasant to work with. Though my boyfriend and I were freaking out they were cheerful and knowledgeable the entire time. Overall, great vet clinic for emergencies and excellent staff who know their stuff.”

“Our cat had an emergency and needed to be held for 24 hours. The doctors and staff were exceptionally kind and understanding of our distress and explained the causes very understandably. We asked to visit Cat halfway through his stay and the staff welcomed us and let us stay as long as we desired. While at home we were contacted every eight hours or so with updates on Cat treatment.”

“The doctor and staff were very caring on the evening of 9/11, when we brought our black lab in. Due to his age and emergency circumstances, we knew it was his time, but still very hard to face. They empathized with us and gave us the needed time to say goodbye. There was no rush at all. They took great care with him and made sure he was comfortable and explained everything to us so we would understand the process. They made the most painful process bearable for us. We thank them immensely.”

“I have to thank this place so much for helping me through probably the hardest time in my life in recent days. In May, I lost my 12 year-old Frenchie and the end of September, I lost my 14-year-old Boston terrier. This place from beginning to end are some of the nicest people and compassionate that I have run into. And I am very grateful and thankful that they were there to help me through this ordeal. Thank you so much.”

“I had an extraordinary experience here. Immediately when I came with my pup, the front desk workers helped me promptly. They asked questions, gathered my concerns and immediately got my pup back for vital signs. They gave me great advice and reassurance! My nerves were immediately calmed. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!!!”

“We have been here three different times now and had an amazing experience. One of the times our Cat Sitter had to bring our cat in for an emergency while we were out of the country and they did such a great job helping us navigate that. They work as quickly as they can to make sure that our cats feel healthy and better. The staff was amazing and super kind to all three of our cats.”

“Amazing care. It was a busy night, and there were a lot of very obviously emotional cases being treated. The front desk staff (Harley and Megan) handled all of it with grace and such care. Consoling clients in emotional distress, while answering constantly ringing phones, cleaning up sick pet messes, and helping to coordinate care. WOW! The techs and vet (Dr. McGuigan) we worked with were professional, skilled and sensitive as well. Thank you to everyone at South Metro Emergency Care. Our little Linus is home now and hopefully on the mend. We are confident he got top notch care.”

“We had a wonderful experience when we had to say goodbye to our dog on a cold Wednesday night! The Dr. and all the staff were top notch. They felt like family by the time we left that cold night. Today we picked up our boy’s ashes. Staff were very sympathetic and once again top notch! I would highly recommend them!”

“From the moment we walked into South Metro Animal Emergency Care, we were met with compassion, professionalism, and kindness. Dr. Lindquist and the entire team clearly explained our options and likely outcomes, helping us make a difficult decision with the utmost care and understanding. Throughout the entire process, we felt supported, listened to, and understood. It was clear that the staff recognized how special Boomer was to our family. Their empathy and expertise provided comfort during a very difficult moment. If you ever find yourself in a moment of crisis with your furry companion, this is the team you want by your side. We are forever grateful for the compassionate care they provided to Boomer and to us. Thank you for everything.”

“Professional, smart, caring, competent, and oh so kind staff! 10/10 recommend. We brought in a kitten that we found in a drain. They were so speedy and caring about making sure he was okay ASAP, from head to toe. They knew exactly what to do and how to get him stable before leaving. They were so kind to me and so professional. I was so impressed with how smooth the whole visit was. I was also impressed at how well they handled other very sad emergencies that came through the door while I was there. The staff really have the perfect balance of empathy, caring and professionalism worked out. I’m so impressed with how sweet they were, especially after seeing this sad stuff all day, every day. I highly recommend SMAEC. The care and expertise here just can’t be beat. 10/10.”
