Coastal Veterinary Emergency Clinic

Dr. Rita Gritzmacher and the staff at CVEC were absolutely wonderful when treating my cat for a bite wound. From the moment we arrived, everyone was kind, attentive, and clearly cared about my pet’s comfort and recovery. Dr. Gritzmacher took the time to thoroughly examine my cat, explain the treatment plan, and answer all of my questions, which really helped put me at ease during a stressful situation. The entire CVEC team was professional, compassionate, and efficient. They handled my cat gently and made sure he received the care he needed quickly. I’m very grateful for the excellent treatment and support we received. I highly recommend Dr. Rita Gritzmacher and the CVEC staff to anyone needing quality emergency veterinary care for their pets.

I took my dog Bruce to Coastal Veterinary Emergency Clinic on Christmas Eve because he was unsteady and his eyes were flickering side to side constantly. I feared he was having a stroke. Bruce is a feisty but slowing-down 13-year-old beagle–rat terrier mix. He was diagnosed with idiopathic vestibular syndrome and is thankfully doing fine now. Like many people with pets, Bruce is the love of my life. From the moment we arrived until we left, the entire team was wonderful. They recognized the distress of both the animal and the human who brought him in. A belated but heartfelt thank you to Irene, Maia, Jesse, and Dr. Griezmacher. (Maia- he is still spicy" 😆

Incredibly patient, compassionate staff- we brought our lab mix in on Saturday due to some erratic behavior & lack of interest in food/water. we were brought back into a private room and they took his vitals immediately. Dr. Kim suggested labs be ran, so we did just that and they showed our captain so much love & kindness despite him being mentally out of it. We were then referred to a specialist who he was seen by on Sunday, but unfortunately couldn’t be helped past supportive care and keeping him comfortable. Unfortunately, we had to bring him back in last night and put him to sleep. Everyone was so quick to help and gave us as much time as we needed before and after the process to be with him the last time. The techs loved on our boy like their own and ensured we were also okay consider

This clinic was absolutely amazing and a life saver for me Sunday Night. My dogs had gotten out while I was out and it was super windy, cold and rainy. I was fortunately able to find one of my dogs and I was grateful we had an overnight emergency vet clinic in town. Unfortunately we had found my other dog struck by a car off Henderson. They were very compassionate and attentive workers there. The Vet I saw that night now morning was very attentive to my dogs needs and transparent on cost breakdowns. I was originally planning on a at home burial for my dog that passed away but they had offered cremation at a very reasonable price which saved my time and back. I highly recommend this clinic and would come back to them for any of my emergency pet needs.

My dog was diagnosed with HGE last Saturday. She wound up staying overnight so due to a shift change was taken care of by Dr. Calo during the day and Dr. Sanchez throughout the night. Both doctors were incredible and very informative/helpful! Due to my dog's case, she was inevitably given a bunch of meds for her recovery process at home. Her discharge instructions did not align with the quantity of medication that was given to us. For example, her discharge instructions stated that we were to give our dog a tablet every 8 hours for 5 days. Which would result in a quantity of 15, however we only came home with 8. There was also confusion with a probiotic syringe that instructed me to give my dog 4mL every 8 hours for 2-3 days. We arrived home with the syringe at 14mL out of 30mL already ad
