Emergency Veterinary & Specialty Services of Roanoke has been serving the pets of Roanoke and the greater Southwest Virginia region as a dedicated 24-hour emergency animal hospital. Unlike traditional veterinary practices that focus on wellness and routine care, this facility specializes exclusively in urgent, emergency, and critical care situations — the cases that can't wait until morning or require advanced intervention beyond what a primary care vet can provide. Their team of emergency veterinarians and veterinary surgeons is trained to handle everything from traumatic injuries and acute illnesses to toxin ingestion and life-threatening conditions.

“My husband and I were very pleased with the care our cat received and appreciated all the kindness they put into making sure he was well taken care of. Doctor Brittany Ciepluch, the surgeon who performed our cats PU surgery was amazing! Great communication, caring and positive attitude, and incredibly knowledgeable. The technician who handled our discharge did a fantastic job of explaining everything post-op and went the extra mile to confirm medication times before we left with him. What I appreciated most is the amazing care from Doctor Brittany Ciepluch. Hands down. She did a terrific job of making us feel comfortable with her caring for our cat and she was also very genuine and caring. We could not have asked for a better experience and our sweet boy is doing fantastic!”
“I cannot thank Emergency Veterinary and Specialty Services enough for what they did for my pets after a terrible car accident. I was rear-ended on Highway 81 and taken to the hospital, leaving my dog Gator and cat Simone in the care of this clinic. It was one of the scariest moments of my life, but the staff here truly saved us. My dog had internal bleeding, and thanks to their quick action and incredible care, he pulled through after several days of treatment. The veterinarians and staff were compassionate, attentive, and thorough, keeping me informed and making sure both of my pets were safe and comfortable during such a traumatic time. I don’t know how they survived the accident, but I do know that this clinic gave them the best possible chance. Today both Gator and Simone are healthy and recovering, and I will be forever grateful for the kindness and professionalism of everyone who helped us. Highly recommend this clinic to anyone in need of emergency care. They truly go above and beyond.”
