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!
