Animal Emergency & Specialty Center (AESC) of Poulsbo has provided trusted pet emergency veterinary care since 1993, serving Kitsap County and the surrounding areas. Few aspects of pet ownership are more frightening than an emergency when your family veterinarian’s office is closed. Animal Emergency is an emergency animal hospital that focuses on the treatment of trauma, critical care, and complic

ated medical problems. Animal Emergency and Trauma Center (AETC) was established in 1993 as a critical care animal hospital to care for your pet’s veterinary needs. In 2022, we grew to meet the needs of our community moving to a larger, state-of-the-art facility and adding specialty services to expand our offerings. Now, as Animal Emergency & Specialty Center (AESC), we continue work as a team with your family veterinarian, sharing information and common goals. A well trained, experienced, and caring team member can answer your questions and advise you regarding your pet’s problem. At AESC, our doctors and support staff dedicate themselves to emergency and critical care of companion animals. We focus on pet emergency and specialty care in and around Kitsap County including Bremerton, Silverdale, Port Orchard, Bainbridge Islands, Kingston, Belfair, Port Townsend, Gorst, Port Ludlow, Sequim, Shelton, Gig Harbor, Poulsbo, and Port Angeles.

This holiday season, we asked our team to decorate ornaments for the season, and WOW—did they deliver! Each ornament was a unique masterpiece, and we loved displaying them in the lobby for our clients to vote on.

The winning ornament earned its creator a well-deserved gift card!

We had no idea we were surrounded by such amazing talent. Thank you to our team for spreading holiday cheer and to our clients for helping us pick the winner!

Start the new year off right by pet-proofing your celebration! With all the excitement and commotion, NYE celebrations can result in lost pets and accidents.

Here are some tips to keep your pets safe:
🎉 Secure pets in a comfy place indoors
🎉 Make sure all pets have ID tags
🎉 Save emergency vet information our phone # is (360) 697-7771
🎉 Keep alcohol, treats, and decorations out of reach
🎉 Guard entry and exit points – noisemakers, streamers, popping balloons, and fireworks could cause pets to make a sudden escape
🎉 If you are leaving your pet for the night, do a quick double-check around the house for all of the above and do what you can to make your pet feel comfortable and safe while they ring in the new year

🎄🎉 Celebrating the holidays with our team is so important to us—but as a 24/7 emergency facility, we have to get creative to make sure everyone has a chance to join the fun!

⚠HOLIDAY HAZARDS⚠

They might look beautiful but holiday decorations may be hazardous for pets. Here are a few tips to keep your pet safe this holiday season:

🎄 Securely anchor and keep pets away from the tree. Also remember to sweep up any fallen brush or pine needles.

💡 Hang strands of lights higher up. Not only can pets get tangled in strings, but these strands can give them a potentially life-threatening electrical shock if they bite through the wire.

🐈 Tinsel and ornaments can seem like toys (especially to cats) and can cause serious stomach issues if ingested. Avoid using tinsel when possible and stick with larger, shatterproof ornaments that aren’t easy to break or swallow.

At Animal Emergency and Specialty Center, we’re dedicated to advancing veterinary medicine—and that starts with supporting our team’s growth and education.

Today, we’re thrilled to celebrate Izzy for completing Washington State University’s Veterinary Paraprofessional: Veterinary Scribe certification program! 🎉

This program equips students with essential skills to transcribe veterinary medical visits, communicate effectively with clients and colleagues, and support the healthcare team. By enhancing patient care and increasing client satisfaction, certified scribes allow doctors to focus on what matters most—caring for their patients.

Way to go, Izzy! 👏 Keep up the amazing work!

Thanksgiving is almost here! While we’re excited about the delicious feast ahead, it’s important to understand which foods are toxic for pets.

Keep your cats and dogs away from:
🦃 Stuffing – as it may contain onions or garlic
🦃 Ham and other Pork – can cause pancreatitis, upset stomach, or diarrhea
🦃 Turkey – Dogs should only have a little bit of meat, no skin or seasoning
🦃 Turkey Bones – splinters may cause indigestion or bowel obstruction
🦃 Mashed Potatoes – may have been prepared with butter and dairy
🦃 Salads with Grapes/Raisins – can cause kidney failure
🦃 Chocolate Desserts – toxic to both cats and dogs

If you suspect your pet has eaten something toxic this holiday call Animal Emergency & Specialty Center at (360) 697-7771.
