Furthermore, for after‑hours emergency cases, we refer patients to the nearby Points East Veterinary Specialty Hospital, allowing you to focus completely on your primary caseload during business hours and limiting on‑call burnout. We believe in equipping our teammates with the tools necessary to deliver exceptional medical outcomes.

Firetower Animal Clinic offers a comprehensive suite of services, including advanced care, surgical procedures, urgent care, wellness and prevention, and thorough testing and diagnostics. Our AAHA accreditation means our protocols are continuously evaluated across critical areas like anesthesiology, diagnostic imaging, and client services.
