History and
Philosophy
The Animal Emergency Clinic of Brandon, Located in
Brandon Florida has been open to the residents of Southern
Hillsborough County since 1987. Originally located at 757 W.
Brandon Blvd in the Oakfield Shopping Center where the RoadHouse
Grill is located, it was relocated to the Lumsden Executive
Park at 693 W. Lumsden Road, Brandon FL 33511 in 2003.
This clinic is open nights, weekends, and holidays
when the regular day clinics are closed. Our primary purpose is to
be here for the clients of the local veterinarians and to assist
them with their patients' after hours needs. We are here when your
pets need us the most. Although most people are not sure when their
pet is in need of an emergency clinic, you are always welcome to
call us if you are concerned. A dog or cat that is vomiting or has
diarrhea can dehydrate rather quickly causing a simple problem to
become a serious problem over night. Often, early intervention with
fluid therapy and medications can prevent life threatening
circumstances to arise.
Our veterinarians are experienced, practicing
veterinarians and are qualified to diagnose and treat your pets'
illnesses. We have available here at our facility a surgical suite,
and an oxygen chamber complete with temperature controls. We run
all blood work here in our hospital and have results within half an
hour. We have X-Ray equipment and we send the original X-Rays home
with you to take to your primary care veterinarian. Our doctor will
go over the diagnostic results with you and explain his or her
findings, so you will know what is going on in the treatment of
your pet.
We understand that your pet is more than just an
animal and that you feel as strongly about the care that is given
to your pet as you would to one of your children. We take that
responsibility very seriously. When you leave our clinic you will
be referred back to your primary care veterinarian and given a copy
of the doctor's right and copies of the blood work and x-rays if
these diagnostics were done. We will also fax copies of these
records to your primary care veterinarian, so he or she will be
prepared to discuss with you the continued care of your pet.
