If your pet has an urgent need while we're away, we recommend reaching out to your nearest emergency vet clinic or trusted local veterinary provider.
PET Emergency - Anchorage

Susitna Animal Urgent Care - Palmer

Thank you for your understanding and support! We will be back and ready to care for your furry friends starting October 27. 🐶🐱💕

In Memory of Gabby:
"Gabby was the most special cat I've ever been owned by. He was a character, bossy, demanding, funny, comforting and loving. He was a part of our family for 25 yrs and will be greatly missed. Thanks to Dr. Sarah Johnson for making the transition easier."

See you again at the Rainbow Bridge, Gabby ♥️🐾🌈

Thank you for the shoutout! We were so happy to meet Panda - he’s such a sweet boy and will fit in perfectly! 💙

I have to give a huge shout out to Dr. Johnson of Alpenglow Veterinary Services. She's a mobile vet and she is really fantastic with animals.

She came by today to do a check up and give a rabies vaccine to our new rescue, Panda. She spent quite a but of time letting him get used to her...he's very nervous as he's not used to living in a house. She's a fantastic resource and extremely caring and compassionate.

I highly recommend her to any pet owner from Anchorage to Wasilla. She's taken care of my cats and dogs for the past 2 years and she's amazing.

!! Update !!
The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) has updated the Canine Vaccination Guidelines. Leptospirosis is now recommended as a CORE vaccine (along with Rabies and Distemper/Parvo) regardless of where your dog lives, its breed type, or its lifestyle.

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that dogs can get from standing water and flooding, and can occur in urban and non-urban areas. The infection is potentially fatal, causing kidney and liver failure, AND is zoonotic, meaning it can be passed on to people.

The bacteria survives best in tropical and subtropical climates, however we have documented Leptospirosis here in Alaska (dogs, bears, foxes, rodents).

The vaccination can be given to puppies as early as 12 weeks, and is a yearly vaccination for adults.

Call/Text/Email if you have questions about the Leptospirosis vaccine, or if you would like to schedule a vaccination update for your pup!
