Meet The Emergency Vets – Atlanta’s Only Independently Owned Emergency Animal Hospital

If you’ve been a client of The Village Vets, you already know us. The team that remembered your dog’s name before checking the chart. The technicians who sat on the floor with your anxious cat. The doctors who called after hours just to make sure your pet was okay. Same owners. Local for over 30 years. Raising families and pets here, just like you.

That hasn’t changed. What has is our name.

We are now The Emergency Vets, a 24-hour emergency animal hospital in Decatur, and the only privately owned emergency and critical care veterinary hospital in metro Atlanta.

A Natural Evolution

When The Village Vets changed ownership, our emergency hospital stepped forward as its own independent practice, because that’s exactly what it had always been at its core. Same veterinarians. Same medical standards. Same commitment to pets and the people who love them. Just a name that finally reflects who we are.

What Independent Ownership Means for Your Pet

Emergency veterinary care in metro Atlanta is increasingly dominated by large corporate groups. At The Emergency Vets, there are no outside investors, no distant ownership groups, and no protocols handed down from a boardroom. Our doctors make decisions based on your individual animal and we answer to our patients and clients, full stop.

We’re Here When You Need Us

Our team is here 24/7, offering emergency surgery, critical care and ICU monitoring, urgent care, digital imaging, and end-of-life care.

To our longtime Village Vets clients: thank you. To those finding us for the first time: welcome. We hope you never need us in a true emergency, but if you do, we’ll be here.

If your pet is experiencing a medical emergency, please call ahead so our team can prepare for your arrival.
