Animal Emergency Clinic

From the moment I pulled up all the way until my baby boy was put down, they were kind and compassionate. My son referred me to this place and he went on and on about them. The compassion the woman had of me crying so hard on the phone to the tech that put my baby to sleep, was unreal. Southcare vet can take notes on how a vet place should be ran! I had my baby boy for 18 beautiful loving years. He was truly my baby! The care the tech showed when we were in the back room, was amazing. She kept telling my handsome little old man how sweet he was. My baby was purring. He was calm when being put down. Thank you all so very much for having a kind heart. I wish you guys were a regular vet also!

Our young dog met her first porcupine last night…She was handled so well by staff and came out after sedation looking like nothing had happened. They even did a nail trim while she was sedated, which was very appreciated. Staff were courteous and prompt even on a really busy night. We’ve had to bring other pets here in the past, didn’t think twice about where we would go this time.

My cat got a urinary blockage very suddenly. I work for a vet, but my little nut just HAD to do this the day our vet went on a trip. I was stressed and an absolute mess. AEC was so patient with both my emotions and my naughty cat (he can be very mean). They stayed in touch with me the whole time and made me feel like he was their only patient. With it being a holiday weekend, I am sure they are crazy busy. But they made my cat’s health a priority. My cat is still hospitalized there now, but I feel so comfortable knowing he is there and in good hands. Of course I hope to not have to come here again since that means he would be sick again, but if I am in need of urgent care for my cat, this is the first place I will go.

We had to put down our 7 year old german shepherd due to him being in pain. It drastcially turned at night and wanted to put him down without him suffering. I called and spoke with someone they got us in right away. Everyone involved was so nice. The nurse, I don't remember her name, but she was amazing!! She was so polite and made us feel so welcome and didn't push anything. Let us stay there as long as we needed to be with him before and after they put him down.

My poor dog got a bone stuck on his teeth Sunday afternoon. It wasn't an emergent situation, but it did need to be addressed so he could eat and drink. I took a risk and tried going to this clinic based on a recommendation from a friend. The staff were super friendly, and they had no problem working with my dog who is larger and very energetic. I was pleasantly surprised that the whole appointment only took about an hour (I've been to other pet emergencies in Spokane for similar issues and I've never gotten out in less than 3 hours). I would happily recommend this clinic to other pet owners!
