Veterinary Receptionist

Emergency Pet Care is an after-hours emergency veterinary hospital serving Trussville, Birmingham, and the surrounding communities. We exist for one purpose: to provide immediate, expert care when pets are facing life-threatening emergencies.

Our hospital is open nights, weekends, and holidays, because emergencies don't follow a 9-5 schedule. We're equipped with advanced diagnostic and treatment capabilities, and we maintain a consistent team of veterinarians and licensed technicians who are committed to delivering excellent medicine in high-pressure moments.

Whether managing venomous snake bites, surgical emergencies, heatstroke, or critical trauma, our focus is always on providing responsive, compassionate care backed by medical expertise and modern tools!

Our hospital operates during the hours general practices are closed:

• Friday-Monday: Open 24 hours
• Tuesday-Thursday: 6 PM - 7 AM

Our receptionists offer friendly emotional support in a compassionate and discreet manner during times of need to our clients and must be comfortable with various medical outcomes.
