The Animal ER of University Park is staffed by veterinarians and licensed or highly experienced veterinary technicians, along with veterinary assistants who are physically present during all operating hours. The Animal ER is a well-equipped facility with diagnostic, surgical, and life-saving equipment. Our brand new, state-of-the-art hospital includes a modern surgical suite, IDEXX Lab machines (CBC/Chem/Lytes/Coag/Blood Gas/Sedi-Vue Dx, ACTH Stim Testing in-house along with Bile Acids), Digital Radiography, Ultrasound, Electrosurgery, and Endoscopy. In addition, we can monitor the SPO2, and EKG, and have 2 different Blood Pressure monitoring modalities (Doppler and PetMap). We also have access to Boarded Neurologists, Surgeons, and Internal Medicine.

The Animal ER of University Park was created because the people of north Sarasota County and the entirety of Manatee County were having to travel too far for veterinary emergency care. The founders of the Animal ER recognized this need, and in November of 2003 opened the Animal ER to serve the people and pets of Manatee and Sarasota counties. Since that time, we have been open every night, weekend, and holiday.

We offer an outstanding benefit and compensation package and encourage professional growth and development. If you want to practice the highest standard of care with our skilled team of dedicated doctors and support staff we want to hear from you!
