We are so humbled by the support of our community and are thrilled to announce that we were awarded the 2025 Best of Florida Award for Veterinary Practices.

Thank you to those who nominated and voted for us; this is a huge honor after being open for just a year. 💜

Our goal is to either get them well enough to follow up with your veterinarian, or triage/stabilize, and refer your pet to a full service emergency hospital for more extensive treatment.

We often get questions in the clinic about who we recommend for various pet services, and when it comes to boarding and daycare, gets our vote as the best.

Unique was tasked with taking care of some of our own personal pets this week and they definitely deserve a special shout out for it. The owner, Veronica, sends daily updates and pictures, and is awesome at making sure all of the dogs in her care are safe, happy, and having fun in this cageless boarding facility.

If you are looking for boarding/doggy daycare, you should definitely check them out!

We wanted to send a huge thank you to everyone who supports our clinic and our mission. This clinic has been a labor of love and while there might be some who feel differently, we appreciate each and every one of you. We love all of your pets as if they were our own, even if we only ever get to see them when they need us. We hope they never do and that they are happy and healthy. 💜

STARTING THIS WEEK, WE WILL HAVE NEW HOURS OF OPERATION!

After being open for almost an entire year, we found that there is a greater need for after-hours vet care in our community on Tuesdays than there is on Sundays, believe it or not.
We will now be open Tuesday-Saturday, 3pm-10pm.

If you can't get in to your dog or cat's regular vet for an urgent care issue, pop onto our website: AnimalUrgentCareHC.com or give us a call to get them feeling better!

It’s only the middle of June and we’ve seen so many cases of heat stroke this year. Know the signs and save a life 💜

The best ways to avoid heat stroke:
1. keep pets in air-conditioned, indoor spaces throughout the day with access to water.

2. Limit your pet to short 2-3 minute potty breaks during the hottest part of the day.

3. Exercise your pet in the early morning hours at dawn when temperatures are at their lowest, before the sun is fully up.

4. If you have a snub nose dog (brachycephalic breed) such as a French bull dog, your pet is severely at risk of heat stroke even with the above guidelines. Treat these dogs like an ice cream cone: keep them cool or they will melt.

Animal Urgent Care of Hernando County will be closed today, Sunday, April 20th.

If your pet needs to be see today, please contact Veterinary Emergency Group at 813-265-4043 or your nearest 24-hour veterinary hospital.

Thank you for your continued support and we hope your pets stay safe and healthy this holiday.
