On the evening of May 3,2026, our beloved bischon, Luna was attacked by a much larger dog and critically injured. After being refused by 3 other emergency hospitals, we finally got her to Watsontown. The staff assessed and stabilized her while offering us a private room to decompress while waiting for updates. Dr.Jasmine Hoffman and her team were fast, compassionate and professional. After Dr. Hoffman determined Luna's needs were greater than she could provide, she called numerous hospitals until she found a place that could accept her. The receiving hospital also told us the Watsontown team did an amazing job preparing her for transport. I have no doubt they saved her life and we are forever grateful. During her week long hospitalization (at another hospital), the Watsontown staff reached out several times to check on Luna. Wow! So caring!! Highly recommend if emergency vet services are needed!

It was New Year's Eve when our morkie went stiff as a board and was clearly in pain. We took him to the Animal Emergency Center where they took a blood sample and x-rays. The blood sample revealed the possibility of an infection related to Lyme and the X-ray showed that, in his neck, there was a pinched nerve. The vet told us that the antibiotic would treat the Lyme-related infection, and that the neck would ossify given time - and that's just what happened. The pain meds helped him relax and with care, the neck ossified. And it turned out that the Lyme-related infection was giving him loose stools - which also cleared up. We are so fortunate to have the Animal Emergency Center when we need them!
