Veterinary Emergency Referral Center

Veterinary Emergency Referral Center We work as an extension of your family Veterinarian, providing state of the art emergency care. Established in 2012 by the founding veterinarian.

In 2018, the Animal Emergency Center of Norman was purchased by 3 Brown Dogs Veterinary Group, owned by Dr. Andrew Diaz. Dr. Diaz had a vision of a 24-hour emergency and referral hospital to meet the needs of Norman in addition to Southeastern, Southwestern and Southern Central Oklahoma to the northern parts of Texas. With a team of expert veterinary professionals bringing the best possible care f

or your pet in a state of the art veterinary facility, Dr. Diaz's vision is closer to reaching reality. Our skilled veterinary team partners with your family Veterinarian, providing emergency and urgent care for your pet, nights, weekends, and holidays until the point that we open our doors 24/7.

🫣Caution, Medical Procedure Photo*

This naughty nugget, Theo, visited us last week when he swallowed a whole rib bone! His Dad was hoping Theo wouldn't have to have a full abdominal surgery, so we took a less invasive approach first, called endoscopy.

While Theo was under anesthesia, our Doctor used a camera placed down his esophagus and into his stomach. We were able to visualize and retrieve the rib bone and Theo avoided surgery!

Theo had very little down time after his procedure and is doing great, acting like NOTHING happened! But who can say no to those eyelashes! 😍

Meet Stella! Although she is a naughty girl (hence the E-collar) who tried to chew out her IV catheter... she is still on Santa's Nice list because she is one of our blood heros! 🩸💉

Stella belongs to one of our employees and came in tonight to donate blood so our hospital can have blood on hand for the holiday. Shout out to our awesome trainee, Anna, for jumping in and taking care of the donation 👏

Our very own Dr. Linville volunteered his day to the OSU-OKC Veterinary Technology program yesterday. While he performed spays and neuters for shelter animals, the students practice their surgical assistant and anesthetic monitoring skills. Moments like these are vital to prepare students for their roles in our veterinary community.
