Emergency Services We Bring to Your Home
Our mobile emergency vet unit for Orlando and surrounding areas carries hospital-grade equipment. We don't cut corners because we're mobile — we bring the same tools an ER clinic uses, minus the fluorescent lights and crowded lobby.
Emergency Triage and Stabilization
-
Rapid Assessment
Within minutes of arrival, we check vitals — heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, capillary refill time, pain level — and prioritize treatment based on severity.
-
IV Fluid Therapy
Dehydration and shock kill more pets in emergencies than the injury itself. We start IV fluids immediately to stabilize blood pressure and organ perfusion.
-
Pain Management
Your pet gets effective pain relief before we do anything else. We carry injectable opioids, NSAIDs, and local anesthetics suited to dogs and cats.
On-Site Diagnostic Testing
-
Blood Work with Rapid Results
Complete blood count, chemistry panel, and electrolytes — results in under 15 minutes. We know what's wrong before the ER clinic would even finish your intake paperwork.
-
Portable Digital X-Ray
Chest, abdomen, and extremity radiographs right on your kitchen floor. Critical for detecting fractures, foreign bodies, and fluid in the lungs.
-
Urinalysis and Cytology
Immediate urine testing for blockages and infections. Skin and ear cytology for acute allergic reactions and infections.
Emergency Medical Treatment
-
Wound Care and Suturing
Lacerations, bite wounds, and punctures cleaned, debrided, and sutured on site. We carry surgical-grade instruments and suture materials.
-
Oxygen Therapy
Supplemental oxygen via mask or flow-by for pets in respiratory distress. Buys critical time while we identify and treat the underlying cause.
-
Medication Administration
Anti-venom, anticonvulsants, activated charcoal for poisoning, antiemetics, bronchodilators — our mobile pharmacy covers the medications used in 95% of pet emergencies.
After-Hours and Holiday Coverage
-
True 24/7 Availability
We answer the phone at midnight on Christmas Eve. No voicemail, no callbacks, no "try again in the morning." A real person picks up, and a vet is dispatched.
-
Same Response Time, Day or Night
Whether you call at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., our response window stays 20-35 minutes for Orlando addresses. After-hours calls within Winter Park, Kissimmee, and Altamonte Springs typically add 5-10 minutes.
-
Hospital Referral Coordination
If your pet needs surgery, prolonged hospitalization, or an oxygen chamber that our mobile unit can't provide, we stabilize first, then coordinate a direct transfer to a partner emergency hospital — no ER waiting room line.
When to Call an Emergency Mobile Vet
Not every scary moment is a true emergency — but some that seem minor are actually life-threatening. Use this guide. When in doubt, call. We'd rather tell you your pet is fine than get there too late.
-
Life-Threatening — Call Immediately
Labored or stopped breathing. Uncontrolled bleeding that won't stop with pressure. Unconsciousness or unresponsiveness. Seizures lasting more than 3 minutes or multiple seizures in a row. Pale or blue gums. Known ingestion of a toxic substance. Bloated, hard abdomen with retching.
-
Urgent — Call Within the Hour
Persistent vomiting or diarrhea for more than 6 hours, especially with blood. Suspected broken bone (limb at an abnormal angle, won't bear weight). Eye injuries with swelling, discharge, or the eye bulging. Snake bite — even if the pet seems okay, venom can take hours to cause damage. Difficulty urinating or straining repeatedly with no output.
-
Can It Wait Until Morning?
Mild diarrhea with normal energy and appetite. Small cuts or scrapes that have stopped bleeding. Decreased appetite for less than 24 hours. Limping with no visible wound or swelling — monitor overnight and call in the morning if it continues. One episode of vomiting followed by normal behavior.

Every minute counts when your pet is in distress. Our emergency mobile vet team serves Orlando and surrounding communities 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You'll speak to a real person — not a phone tree — and a licensed veterinarian will be on the way before you hang up.
We cover Orlando, Winter Park, Kissimmee, Altamonte Springs, Maitland, and all communities within 30 miles. If you're unsure whether we reach your address, call and ask — the answer takes 10 seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
For addresses within Orlando city limits, we typically arrive in 20-30 minutes. Winter Park, Maitland, and College Park are in the same range. Kissimmee, Altamonte Springs, and Ocoee add about 5-10 minutes depending on traffic. When you call, we give you an honest ETA based on your specific address and our current location.
Emergency house calls start at $250 for the visit, which includes triage, physical exam, and initial stabilization. Diagnostics and treatments are billed separately — blood work runs $85-$150, X-rays start at $120, and IV fluid therapy is $75-$150 per session. We give you a clear estimate before running any tests.
Keep your pet as calm and still as possible — a quiet room with dim lighting helps. Don't offer food or water. If there's bleeding, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth. For suspected poisoning, find the container or substance and have it ready to show us. Clear a well-lit area on the floor where we can work. And keep other pets in a separate room so we can focus.
Yes, and we're upfront about that. If your pet needs major surgery, prolonged hospitalization with 24-hour monitoring, or an oxygen chamber, those require a full hospital facility. What we do in those cases: we arrive, stabilize your pet with IV fluids and pain management, and coordinate a direct transfer to a partner emergency hospital — your pet arrives stable, with records already sent ahead.
After-hours calls (between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m.) and weekend/holiday visits include a $75 after-hours surcharge on top of the base visit fee. Every other cost — diagnostics, treatments, medications — stays the same regardless of when you call.
Our primary service area includes Orlando, Winter Park, Kissimmee, Altamonte Springs, Maitland, College Park, Ocoee, and Dr. Phillips — roughly a 30-mile radius from downtown Orlando. If you're at the edge of our range, we'll tell you upfront and suggest the closest alternative if we can't reach you fast enough.
All major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), CareCredit, and Scratchpay for those who need a payment plan. Payment is collected at the time of service. We do not accept checks or cash for emergency visits.
We partner with two emergency hospitals in the Orlando area. If your pet needs care beyond what our mobile unit handles, we stabilize first, then call ahead to the hospital so they're ready when you arrive. We send all records, test results, and X-rays digitally before you get there. You won't have to repeat the story or re-run tests.
