About us
------OPEN 24 HOURS------ Pet Emergency Treatment is a walk-in clinic for animals that serves both the Anchorage bowl and Alaskan “bush” communities. Pet Emergency Treatment is OPEN 24 HOURS to provide emergency and critical care. It is the intention of the service to specialize predominantly in the emergency treatment of sick and injured animals. We work closely with your pet’s regular veterinarian and send our findings to them for follow up care. For this reason we don’t perform spays/neuters or dental work. Pet Emergency Treatment service was established in 1978 by local veterinarians and is still supported by the veterinarians in Anchorage and the surrounding areas (e.g., Eagle River, Seward, Kenai). Pet Emergency Treatment is designed and dedicated to providing the best possible emergency medical and surgical services for your pet when your regular veterinarian is not available. We moved to a state of the art facility in 2006 to facilitate this goal. And, as of 2011, we have upgraded to a digital x-ray unit on site that allows us to burn to CD! With experienced veterinarians to interpret the x-rays, we can save precious moments and make the difference between life and death in an emergency. Pet Emergency Treatment also has a migratory bird permit which allows us to temporarily treat migratory birds; which includes eagles, owls, and other wild birds. We then turn them over to the Bird Treatment and Learning Center for their future needs. In 2007 the staff at Pet Emergency Treatment Inc. successfully completed a rigorous, voluntary accreditation process through the American Animal Hospital Association. This process required that the hospital meet specific, nationally recognized standards in various aspects of veterinary medicine. These included surgery, emergency medicine, client service, medical records, pain management, patient care, diagnostic imaging, and continuing education. This accreditation is only shared with about 13% of veterinary hospitals across the country and we are proud to be one of them. P.E.T. received an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau® Pet Emergency Treatment was featured on Animal Planet in ‘Clinically Wild: Alaska’ and is proud to lend our support to our local community efforts as well, including the Iditarod, the Friends of Pets Dog Jog, Anchorage Chamber Citywide (Street) Cleanup, wild bird rescue through Bird Treatment and Learning Center, and through veterinary support at dog shows around Alaska. We offer tours of our clinic for individuals on request and for groups by appointment. Bring your pet and if you’d like we’ll even record a video of your tour for friends to see on Facebook!

"Thank you for your positive comments! We pride ourselves on our round-the-clock availability. Come back any time!"
Staff was extremely helpful, understanding, and compassionate. Cremation was accomplished as described and follow-up was professional. From past experience in the lower 48 we expected ashes in plastic jug...we were surprised when they handed her ashes to us in a pretty tin along with a paw print casting. We appreciated these extra touches.
We have only accolades and no complaints.
