Veterinary referral centers with 24/7 ICU access and rapid triage are typically large emergency/referral hospitals rather than small specialty clinics. Examples often known for this level of service include:
- BluePearl Pet Hospital locations with emergency + critical care
- VCA Animal Hospitals referral/specialty centers with ER/ICU
- MedVet hospitals
- Ethos Veterinary Health centers
- Ivy League Veterinary Specialists / specialty ER hospitals in some regions
- Regional university veterinary teaching hospitals that run a 24/7 emergency and critical care service
What to look for when choosing one:
- “Board-certified criticalist” or ECC specialist on staff
- 24/7 in-house ICU/nursing
- Immediate triage on arrival
- Ability to do advanced diagnostics quickly (CT, ultrasound, lab)
- Clear policy for referral transfer and hospitalization
