Emerson Animal Hospital is a full service veterinary facility for small animals.  We treat a variety of species daily: dogs, cats, birds, reptiles (snakes, lizards, turtles), several different pocket pets (mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils), rabbits, hedgehogs, and sugar gliders.  When the clinic opened on July 14, 1969, dogs and cats were the only pets seen with regularity.  As the years passed, all of these other animals have become popular with the public, often seen in homes, offices, classrooms and retirement centers.   

Opening in a new building on a previously vacant lot, a pasture only a short time before, Emerson Animal Hospital has grown into a veterinary practice that treats thousands of pets each year, and has, since that opening day, treated approximately 385,000 animals. 

At Emerson Animal Hospital, each new wave of knowledge and technology that has occurred in the last 32 years has resulted in an increased quest for information concerning the new species of pets, purchases of state of the art instrumentation and equipment with which to diagnose and treat animal diseases, and a growing desire to help our multitude of patients with their vast array of health problems.  

Today, we utilize advanced broad spectrum antibiotics, genetically engineered vaccines, safer anesthetics that allow surgery patients to awaken within ten minutes, computers that speed us through our days, surgical procedures that defy belief, ultrasound that allows us to see with sound waves, and all types of imaging methods from MRIs to CAT scans that identify tumors we previously would not have even known existed, to help your pet.
