Penn Vet's Ryan Hospital is one of the nation's busiest veterinary teaching hospitals, with close to 33,000 small animal patient visits each year, 13,000 of which are emergency cases.
Our Emergency Service — open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year — is staffed by emergency medicine clinicians and emergency/critical care specialists, as well as nursing specialists in emergency/critical care, augmented by on-call specialists.
Our board-certified specialists, residents, interns, nurses and students are dedicated to keeping all companion animals healthy, and provide the highest level of care.
In fact, Penn Vet's Ryan Hospital was recently designated as one the the nation's first veterinary trauma centers by the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (ACVECC).
