The doctor and techs at this hospital really went above and beyond to resolve an emergency situation with my cat. My cat got get unexpectedly sick on a weekend evening. This was after multiple days of extreme heat and wildfire smoke in the area, so there were a lot of sick animals needing care. Though they were extremely busy, they immediately took my cat back to check his condition and, because he had a fever, got him comfortable on a cooling pad while we waited for an available room. During the time I waited in the lobby I watched the staff keep their cool in a very stressful situation. They were so incredibly kind to every pet parent who came through the door or called on the phone. They worked diligently the entire time I was there, to make sure every animal was being taken care of and every human was being comforted. My pet spent 2 nights and days at the hospital getting treatment and the staff was so kind every time I called up to check in. They were very understanding and compassionate. The doctor prescribed a mixture of antibiotics and other medications to continue treatment at home and my cat has now made a full recovery, with a clean blood test. read more

Both times I was there the outcome was horrible as both animals could not be saved. Having said that, this place is the best. Both doctors, the blonde lady who is usually on midnights and the dark haired vet are excellent. The people here are so nice. Very kind, very respectful, very willing to help. I really, really recommend this vet. read more

It's the only place near us for weekend emergency care. Anything else that says "hospital" doesn't actually see pets in an emergency, unlike here. We've had to take our dogs here twice for eating things they aren't supposed to. They are beagles so it's a battle. Once it was chocolate. They induced vomiting, and we went home. It didn't take long. The second appointment was rough. My dog ate a bottle of my medication. He was having very scary symptoms, but they triaged him to a lower level when another dog came in with seizures. We were there around 6-8 hours, and they ended up keeping our pup overnight for observation and to give iv rx. It was really hard to be in the exam room for so long when given no information and worrying if our dog was going to die. I eventually assumed, well I guess he's going to live, if they are letting us sit around in the room this long without seeing the doctor. In the end, they have taken great care of our dogs and have to triage based on the volume and lack of any other hospital nearby. The price they quoted actually ended up being less than expected, and they refunded us money back. It's clear they care about people and pets. read more

I took my dog there last sunday. after paying all that money, never even got a diagnosis. was sent home with antibiotics. Sadly he has since passed. It wasn't until he was seen thru emergency vet in upper mi. that he was diagnosed. Although it was to late at least I had an answer. My heart hurts so badly. I would never recommend that hospital to anyone. read more

the staff here are ALWAYS so compassionate and friendly and they are so accommodating when I need to bring my pup in.

My dog got bit in the neck area. I called Advanced Animal Emergency to see if they were super busy. They answered in a very vague, cryptic way. Very noncommittal in how they responded. It was almost like they didn't want to "tip" their hand and admit they were busy. I just wanted to estimate how long I'd be out of the house to ensure we had childcare long enough for me to take my dog in. With that said, the doctor said he wanted to examine my dog "in the back" without me." I requested he not do that so I could ask and ask questions as they came up during the exam. He recommended an elective surgery to insert drains into my dog's neck to be able to drain the pus and blood in case it got infected. Please note, it would have been completely elective and was a $1500 suggestion for no medical reason. The doctor had a "used car salesman" aura about him. I asked for antibiotics to fight a potential infection and declined the optional surgery. My dog made a full recover after us giving him the prescribed antibiotics. Beware of them upselling here and preying on your emotional fragility as your dogs is there for an emergency . read more

Regarding my experience of putting my cat to sleep. My experience with this vet was wonderful even during a difficult time of letting my cat go. I came here late one night in January (around 10/11pm) after noticing discomfort in my cat, she had been dealing with kidney disease for a few years, and decided it was time to let her go. I was lucky to arrive with only myself in the lobby which I'm sure was in the benefit for me and my cat. The space that was provided for me and my cat for our last moments were calm, peaceful, and quiet. The room was dim with a nice couch and a water fountain to fill the silence. We were provided as much time as i needed to spend with her before starting the treatment. I felt no rush whatsoever. For anyone who would rather give there dog or cat a peaceful transition into the afterlife instead of a typical vet office room, i would highly recommend this place just based of the ambiance and time that was given to me and my cat. I appreciate this place alot for my last moments with my beloved cat ;) read more

i've never experienced a vet office as kind as this one. My dog had been having problems and it was getting worse and it was time. My daughter called about 4 and it was over before 6. clyde is a shelter dog about 17. the room was cozy, dim lights and homey furniture. He was wrapped in a soft blanket and there was a jar of Hershey Kisses with a sign that said no one should go without tasting chocolate. My baby died with a kiss in his mouth. Thank you is not nearly enough. I'm gonna go cry while but gratefully, read more

emergency surgery on my dog. They knew she was dying and played on our feeling about our baby girl to get more money on the back of her suffering. how I know this. .. when we finally took her out,(four days later, trusting them) we pulled her out the fourth day, a vet came to our house and did a x-ray. she was dying ..as they put another $2800 for another night in my hands, knowing she was dying.. so beware of this when you have an emergency. try to have family to have a clear head and listen to them . not the vets at this place of business. Because it is business for all the vets that work here, for the owner. not the welfare of your pet . they took an oath , not one stood up. read more

I had to put my suffering elderly cat down this week.She weighed 3 lbs, The staff was very caring & kind. A relaxing, homey room. This was an emergency visit. I was surprised with the cost of $ 405 . 00!!!! read more

Had to take our fur baby, Jeddo there yesterday he was not in the best of shape. To make a long story short, we had to put him down. It was very devastating and heartbreaking for us.. he was me and my girlfriend's cat together.. he had the most beautiful eyes and gave the best hugs ever.. The staff was very sensitive to our needs. They had a room with a relaxing atmosphere.. and made him comfortable as possible. He looked at us and said goodbye and knew that we were there with him.. read more

The staff was friendly but I am 100% convinced their lack of knowledge killed my dog. I took him in on a Friday night and he had internal bleeding from his spleen. They removed his spleen and said he was doing great the next morning and could possibly go home that day. I called in the evening and they said that his "blood numbers" went down, but that they did an ultrasound and it was negative for any internal bleeding. She said they wanted to keep him one more night and give him some tranexamic acid (which this lady couldn't even pronounce). I questioned giving it and asked if he was still on IV fluids and she said yes he was on his third bag of lactated ringers. I told her 2-3 liters of fluid is a lot for a 60 lb dog and his Hgb was probably just diluted from the IV fluids, and that I didn't think he needed the TXA since he didn't show any signs of internal bleeding on ultrasound. She said it was "protocol" and rushed me off the phone. The next morning they called and I was hoping it was the call to come get him, but it was that he had thrown a PE overnight and there was nothing they could do for him. Losing your pet is never easy, but when you fully believe it was preventable, and you tried to advocate against their plan and they still went through with it and it led to death -- it has just made this so much harder. I get giving TXA prior to and during surgery with active bleeding, but giving a dog with no signs of active bleeding a clotting medication and then throwing him in the kennel for the night I'm not sure what else you expected to happen, besides the owner being left with an $8,000 bill and a box of ashes. Again, friendly staff and they were able to perform a surgery that could've saved my dogs life -- I just question how "Advanced" their knowledge and decision making is. read more

I highly recommend not going here if you absolutely don't have too...we took our fur baby (13lb mixed terrier) there, had to wait 6 hrs., was told we would need all these tests done, then a $1,000 later, all that was wrong with her was that she tweeted her back frm jumping off our high bed! They had the place sooo cold in there that most of us had to keep goin outside to warm up! The Vet claimed she had fleas, & I told him, she was on Bravecto, so he strongly suggested he give her a one time oral medication to make sure. Once he left the rm, we started looking her over & didn't see one flea on her. So my biggest complaint is that, instead of taking xrays 1st., then accessing those to see if any further action should be taken, they pushed the other stuff! We strongly believe we were taken advantage of, especially being Seniors on a fixed in come! WE WILL NEVER BRING HER BACK THERE AGAIN! I'll be doing my research just in case we have another incident! I also highly recommend Pet insurance, it'll be well worth the money to know it's not gonna break the bank! Update: my Fur baby's back is feelin much better, but we're still struggling to try & keep her clam so her back can mend, totally impossible with a Terrier...LOL! Wish they had Pet Chiropractors!​ read more

Every pet parents worst nightmare is needing to take their pet to the ER! I called both of our usual ER vets (since we've been there before) and Animal Emergency Center in Rochester gave me the resources to find Advanced Animal Emergency. I called before we got in the car to ensure they were going to see us and they set the proper expectations up front that right now they had 1 patient and no news of anyone on the way but that sometimes dire emergencies happen and pets arrive without notice. We hopped in the car and headed in and we were helped immediately. They checked us in and got my Poppy girl into a room within 10 minutes. They came and got her temperature and vitals and took her back to the treatment area within 5-10 minutes from being put in our room. The front desk staff, the vet technicians and Dr. Brown were so helpful, comforting (for me as I was an anxious mess), and took such great care of my girl! They made sure I was up to date on what they were doing and told me she was doing great back there. There was a little bit of a wait but it was due to severely urgent cases so I was more than understanding! I can't thank them enough for reassuring me and setting us up for the best healing for Poppy! read more

If you need a emergency vet this is a great place . Our dog had a punctured lung and they got us in right away and the staff was very nice . Dr Maria worked with our sweet pea to remove air from her lung and let us stay so we could be there as soon as she was ready to come home . They gave us the prices and you can even call and ask before hand and get a good estimate . They are kind and a good place to go if you ever need to. read more

3-10-2024 update. My Morkie who was diagnosed with renal dysplasia and was given only 2 years to live just celebrated her 6th Birthday. To everyone out there. If horse dewormer(Ivermectin paste) can cure cancer in adult humans it can kill cancer and many other fungus parasites in your pets. Stop allowing these vets to rip us off. Also pets don't need vaccines every year or three yrs. Look where vaccines got us. We need to use alternative medications which are starting to be released to us now. Everything was suppressed from us for decades. Look in to alternative medications. For both yourself and your pets. Stop paying outrageous vet and medical bills. My Morkie went through hell. I will NEVER listen to the lies again. read more

I'm grateful to the staff for their expertise and dedication in getting my fur baby Sydney back to me. I brought him in on a Saturday morning after seeing blood in his urine. After a thorough examination I got the bad news that he had no platelets and needed to be admitted immediately. Dr Van and the other staff members worked diligently to get my fur baby's platelets up and vitals stabilized. I picked him up on 1/14 and since then he's had a visit with his regular vet who has an emergency medicine background and his platelets are now well in the normal range and she is pleased with his progress. He wants to play and is eating well. Although, as of his vet visit on 1/16 he's still fighting off an infection, I'm optimistic that he will recover and his next exam on 1/23 will see even better results. Thank you Advanced Animal Emergency Team! read more

I was referred here for emergency services by my pet-sitter and was VERY satisfied. My dog hurt herself and I was very worried as she's always been in relatively excellent health - the staff was very caring and kind. The girls/techs treated my girl and me with the utmost respect and kindness. Dr. Pasternak was great as well. They were upfront with their fees and left it up to me if I wanted x-rays, even though the doctor explained that x-ray results wouldn't change the course of treatment for my dog. I was very pleased that they didn't seem predatory in what services they recommended/required. I left the hospital with the necessary medications, discharge instructions, as well as follow up procedures, all for very fair pricing. PHEW!! How relieved am I! Thanks to everyone! read more

My words are escaping me. I could've lost my 1yr old German Shepherd after she ingested a harmful amount of toxins, yet due to their prompt, professional and knowledgeable care she is safely home. They educate you with updates, comfort you when you are sobbing, serious when it's time to make decisions, even offer their own personal advice...I could just keep going. Thank you from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU read more

Advanced Animal Emergency - Veterinarians Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

3 separate times I called this facility looking for help with my dogs. Every time the receptionist was only concerned about giving me the prices, never getting me on a wait list; or what my concerns were. And when I asked about wait times they are always 4-6 hours packed busy. At 3am I was advised to go somewhere else as they couldn't help? My dog had bloat and this is an emergency center, and they couldn't help me. He passed away. Even after this I called for help with my other dog later, thinking they would be helpful. No, a very rude lady answered the phone with no compassion. Only ever concerned about prices and money. Always sending you to other places to call. I've never been as disappointed as I am with this practice. If you want to save your animal don't go here, they will not help and will only be concerned about how much money they can get from you. read more

Without the help of the staff my poor pregnant kitty would have never made it. My 6 month old cat went into labor however due to her age and size oxytocin was not helping enough resulting into a c-section. I left my baby there over night she was spayed immediately after delivery. I am very grateful for there help and blessed that all babies survived and my little mama. (Only downfall was wait time, I was there 3 hours before they could start surgery) During her hospital stay the staff called me with several updates! The kitten care taker showed me how to hold the kittens, bottle feed them, help them use the rest room and answered any questions I had. Plus I left with a helpful packet of information. They called me a few days later to check in on the family :) read more

0 stars. Would never recommend any pet owner to bring their pet here for any reason, even an emergency. They completely overcharge, give wrong diagnosis or even give your pet too many meds ... just my experience and this was different occasions and different dogs. Just terrible read more

There's nothing worse than seeing your best friend suffering. We had to put our sweet boy down this past weekend, and advanced animal emergency got us in when noone else could, and even met us in the parking lot to help us get him in. We were surrounded by empathetic workers, immediate care, and comfort. read more

It's never fun taking your pet to the veterinarian, although my dogs have always thought it was a little adventure: there are all these dogs here! And cats, too! But, it's one thing to take your pet for a routine visit; it's quite different when you think something might be wrong. It's reassuring to know that this place is here, and available anytime day or night. More importantly, everybody here seems to really truly care about the well-being of your pet. I was expecting maybe one person behind the counter, and maybe one doctor. But, there were three people behind the counter. Not bad for 9 o'clock on a Sunday. The facilities are clean and very professional, too. After about a 10 minute wait, we were brought into a room. That's fast, even for a vet during normal hours, and I was thinking I'd be in and out of here pretty quickly. After that, it was about an hour and a half before we saw a doctor. I know that the doctor was spending time making sure that another animal was getting the care they needed, but that's a long time. And, it's not cheap: the exam + the X-ray (the biggest part of the expense) set me back $338. Yes, that's a lot of money, but they did show me the breakdown of the costs before they did anything. Of course, I signed off on the cost: I love my dog. I know it would've been cheaper if I waited till I could've made an appointment during normal hours somewhere else, but you're paying for the convenience. As it turned out, he just had a urinary tract infection. They gave me some pills to take with me, and suggested a follow up in two weeks. They are even aware of how expensive they are, because they recommended I go somewhere else for the follow up, because it's cheaper. I appreciate the honesty. I hope I never have to take any of my pets here again, but that's only because it would mean that I'm worried about something serious. If there is something potentially wrong, this is definitely the place I want to take them. read more

I had to bring my wire hair miniature dachshund in the day after Thanksgiving in the evening. We were helped immediately upon arrival. within minutes I was told the dog was put in the oxygen box due to his purple gums being a sign he wasn't getting enough oxygen. Dr Brown explained that his heart was extremely enlarged and he was in bad shape. All options were explained in a compassionate and detailed manner. All this was very sudden and we had just lost his sister to dilated cardiomyopathy a month earlier. Dr Brown and her staff could not have been more kind, helpful and empathetic. I really appreciated it. Also minimal waiting time to get the diagnosis. It was a devastating night but would have been worse if we weren't treated so kindly. read more

Noon on Friday my dog had a heart attack (my words no theirs) screaming in pain. My vet was booked and they suggested other vets in the area. They too were booked. My dog had been suffering from CHF for a year. A her little body was done. Dr Brown at AAE examined her concurred with our euthanasia decision. This clinic was packed! We were in the lot for hours but they did tell me on the phone the doc is with critical animals and would see my dog in between. I appreciated the caring tone of of Dr Brown The price for the exam and the euthanasia and cremation was reasonable. read more

2nd time I had a issue with a pet on the weekend - of course no one in the Port Huron area can deal with working the weekends - I called Sunday evening with my cat who was suffering and needed to be seen or put down and all they told me was that their docs were in surgery and couldnt get me in but to call Wilsons in Washington Twp. When I called Wilsons - I was on hold for over 15 mins - Both of the pet ER clinics are worthless! They dont care about animals-just the money they can get from you and if your sick pet fits into their schedules... read more

Being new to the area and not knowing where to go, the vet we were supposed to see the following week recommended AAE. Our sweet boy Carson was not eating or drinking and had lost his zest. Because of Covid they are still doing curbside visits. They took our little man inside and examined him, called us with the results and gave us time to discuss our options. We had to make a very difficult decision. Dr. Pollock and the team were very kind and gentle as we were not anticipating leaving without him. read more

Advanced Animal Emergency - Bo is sleeping it off. - Veterinarians Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

This business is entirely out to take your money. I came in with my pup and sat for 4 1/2 hrs waiting for her to be seen. I waited because I was there for a reason- to get her looked at! I brought in my dog for a leg she was not putting weight on. The vet came in and listened to her heart- felt up my pup - massaged her leg and after 10 mins with the vet I was advised of the costs and an itemized list of how much a surgery may cost. I had to ask - just maybe we should get X-rays first to determine if that was even necessary.??? I was blown away that the vet went straight to the subject of surgery. Sadly this place makes no effort to show genuine care for your pet or simply make you feel they even care. I will never return and will warn others if the poor professionalism I experienced. Unfortunately I had to pay $130 for the 41/2hr wait and 10 mins visit with this vet. And it did nothing to better my dogs comfort. This place is a scam read more

My dog collapsed. We rushed her to this location. I absolutely do not recommend this location. They tried to upcharge us by approximately $5,000. I called another emergency vet north of here and they helped her the same day for around $1,200. SHAME ON YOU. The disgusting vet didn't show any remorse when I called her out on the upcharge. read more

Kind, attentive staff. Yes, there will likely be a multi hour wait depending on your pet's condition as is typical for emergency vets. They were extremely gentle and comforting when my dog Louie had to come in for some unknown pain. X-rays reassured us that it wasn't anything serious and got us on a path going forward. I was a mess and they made me feel reassured and I thought the cost was super reasonable. Hoping I never have to go back to an emergency vet but if I do, this is where I'll go. read more

God bless the lady who answered the phone tonight and assisted me. We have a Yellow Lab who is on Antibiotics (500 mg) and when he spit it out our 3lb. Yorkie swooped in and ate it off the floor before we had a chance to grab it or him. He's used to taking like 50 mg doses when it's prescribed to him. At 10 times his normal dose I was afraid of what the end result would be. In a panic my wife started to Google what to do and I called the first 24 hour vet that popped up in my search. The lady at Advanced Animal Emergency quickly assessed the issue over the phone and advised me to give him 1 ml of peroxide and wait about 5 minutes and he should start to vomit. Sure enough exactly at the 5 minute mark my little duders started throwing up and the first thing that came up was the pill he swallowed. He continued to vomit a bit more, but so far he's doing well and acting like his usual self. You guys are forever in my debt. He's my best friend and I dunno what I would have done had the outcome been bad. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! read more

Advanced Animal Emergency - This is the life you potentially saved tonight. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. - Veterinarians Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

I wanted to express how loving and sweet the staff at Advanced Animal Emergency is. Our beloved kitty Hugo was throwing up and started having issues breathing. He was taking very shallow fast breaths. We called Advanced Animal Emergency and they got him in right away. They explained all of the treatment costs up front and gave us a range on what to expect. Yes, emergency vets are expensive because just like humans a lot goes into providing emergency care. They aren't just "concerned with money" as a lot of other reviews state. This is typical for any emergency vet to take the money up front. I never once felt what they asked us to do was excessive or just a cash grab. They thoroughly explained why they wanted to do certain tests and things and it all made sense to me. Our kitty was hospitalized for a few days and in an oxygen chamber. They called us daily with updates and let us know before they did any treatment that was not included in the original plan. Every time a doctor spoke with us, they explained what was going on in detail and answered all of our questions. They have people there 24/7 and we were so worried and concerned we called every 5 hours and everyone we spoke with was so kind and helped calm any concerns we had. Unfortunately Hugo took a turn for the worst and we had to say good bye to him last night. The staff was literally crying with us and gave us hugs and complimented on what a sweet and good boy he was. They made a really crappy situation as sweet as it could of been. The people who work here really love and care about the animals. It's apparent. Being a Vet, especially in emergency, is not an easy job. I cannot even begin to imagine some of the things these folks have to experience every day. So from the bottom of my heart, thank all of you for fighting for Hugo. Although it wasn't the outcome we all wanted I am so grateful you all gave him a fighting chance. He meant so much to me and seeing how much you loved him too made it easier to deal with the pain of this situation. I would definitely bring my animals in the future here. Hopefully we won't need to, but I feel at ease knowing you all are here! read more

I will NEVER EVER bring another animal here. Said they couldn't find the source of our dogs illness, did X-rays, did an exploratory scope, then convinced us that our dog needed exploratory surgery to run her entire stomach/bowel and there was literally nothing. They added on so many chargers that weren't discussed but I'm glad my dog is okay. Then said they couldn't release her until she ate but was refusing to do so now I needed to keep praying for her to take up a space and also she's not urinating. Finally I say I'm coming to get her and the first thing she does is go outside and Pee for like 5 minutes, it was like that scene from Austin Powers. I'm suprised because she IS ABSOLUTELY SOAKED IN PISS. Like head to toe, and they said I can't bathe her because of the stitches all down her stomach. I do the best I can with baby wipes but if gets too bad and I have to bring her to my personal vet to see if they can cover it so I can bathe her. That's when I find out that her stitches are infected. I had that dog home less than 12 hours but she was in that dirty facility 3 days. I had a huge bill, a dog with her whole belly cut open for no reason and who now needed meds for infected stitches. I will never come here again and only ever go to OVRS. read more

First, let me just say that Dr. Stomack is amazing! Her care and kindness did not go unnoticed. I have never had pet emergencies before and she really helped calmed my worst fears and I really felt like she cared about our cat. She took the time to talk to myself and my husband, answer all the questions we had and called us a few times herself. I didn't feel like we were passed off to whatever clinic staff was free. Long story short, we come home on a holiday weekend to our cat not acting right. Ends up needing a catheter. Of course it is a Sunday evening on a holiday weekend, not many options. Advanced was recommended by our regular vet. We called and after listing his symptoms they suggested we bring him in. It was busy, but again...it was a Sunday night on a holiday weekend. They took our cat back right away and checked him out. After completing some paperwork we were given a quote. Yes it was sticker shock, but it is a 24 hour clinic, and it is my cat....I'll pay whatever...just help him. The quote included his meds and up to 72 hours of hospitalization. Was it an unexpected bill, yes. That's part of adulting. It was worth every penny, and made my husband and I realize pet insurance is something to buy. Lol So when I see reviews that are more on the negative side of this place, I think a lot of it has to do with cost. No one likes these bills, but they come with being a pet owner. Our cat ended up staying with Advanced for just about 48 hours. We ended up getting a good refund since the quote we originally paid was higher than what our cat ended up needing. We spoke with our regular vet office and they said they would have done the same treatments, but maybe sent him home earlier since they don't have 24 hour staff. I was more than happy to have them keep my cat and properly monitor him and give him his meds. read more

Our 18-year old cockapoo was approaching natural end of life. Last night she went into distress with seizures and extreme pain, and we knew it was time. These folks said they would see her immediately; no appointment, just come on in. The whole euthanasia process was skilled, pain-free, kind, respectful and dignified. Everyone on staff made us feel as though we had already known them, even though we had never been there before. Our doctor - Ms. Holloway, DVM - was especially kind . Pricing was very fair. read more
