Emergency Referral Facilities

The life of a veterinarian is all about providing the best preventive and wellness care as well as ensuring your pet is supported by the best emergency care possible, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Kenwood Animal Hospital understands medical emergencies for a beloved pet can, and often do, happen outside of normal business hours. To best meet all your pet's needs, we work to make certain that you have access to 24/7 emergency care.
