Animal patients come to us for a variety of reasons. They might endure trauma, be involved in accidents or poisoning, suffer from seizures or sudden illness or be referred at the request of a local veterinary practice. Regardless of what brought the patient to our Deerfield animal emergency hospital, our mission is to provide the best emergency and critical care to pets at competitive prices. Additionally, our state-of-the-art services are designed to support veterinarians in emergencies during overnights, weekends and holidays.

PROUD MEMBER OF THE FOLLOWING VETERINARY ORGANIZATIONS:

At AEUCC, it is our privilege to serve the Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton, Coral Springs, Margate, Parkland, Fort Lauderdale and Pompano areas. We are available 24/7 365 days a year to meet your pet’s emergency needs as well as acting as a resource for your regular veterinarian. Our mission is to give your animal companion the specialized intervention they need any time, day or night.

The medical interventions we furnish are meant to augment and supplement what your usual veterinarian offers. You can count on your regular animal doctor for such important services as prevention and wellness care; dental care; intervention for allergies; vaccinations; routine medical examinations, tests and the dispensing of medications; provision of health certificates, and referrals to specialists and emergency clinics when the situation requires. There are, however, times when this standard care is not sufficient to meet the urgent needs of your pet, and that is when AEUCC is here for you. If your animal has a severe injury, has experienced a seizure, poisoning or animal attack or is going through severe symptoms that require diagnosis outside of your own vet’s regular hours, don’t hesitate to call on our experienced, caring professionals to provide your beloved pet with the gold-standard diagnosis, state-of-the-art treatments and attention they deserve.

We are also available as an informational resource to other veterinary professionals in the area. If you are a South Florida veterinarian who is looking for information or support for a serious or complex case, our dedicated staff is more than happy to collaborate with you in order to furnish your patient with the highest level of diagnostic and interventional care.

Sudden serious illness or trauma is a worst-case, nightmare scenario for both you and your furry companion. Fortunately, you do not need to go through it alone. Keep our address and phone number handy, and know that if you and your pet need us at a critical time, our professional and compassionate staff are there to help. We are located at 103 N. Powerline Rd. Deerfield Beach, Fl 33442 – and we welcome your call at (954)428-9888 day or night.

Our Client Testimonials

  • My furbaby swallowed a nickel and had to bring her to the emergency room because she got seizures. I was very worried however at Animal Emergency Clinic of Deerfield they immediately went into action and took care of her. She stayed overnight. They said they would call me between 7-8am and they called me between those times. Everytime I would call they always responded within 2-3 rings, always responsive and polite. Very satisfied with the visit. Thank you to all the staff!!!

  • didn’t know what was wrong with my dog Roxy when I came home from work she wasn’t acting right. We immediately rushed her to the clinic. They were able to see us right away. They were all so very nice and professional. They were able to get bloodwork and x-rays and diagnosed quickly and ended up doing emergency surgery to remove her spleen. If they hadn’t found it right away, she would not be here today.
    I would absolutely recommend them. And thanks again to them for saving my best friends life.

  • My experience with this clinic was very positive. The staff from the reception and at all other points is very friendly, professional and compassionate. Dr. Rudolfo performed all the required activities to find out what treatment my 18-old cat needs. When it came to the point of payment, the clinic offered a discount and agreed to negotiate the final price for two days of hospitalization for my furbaby. Dr. Rudolfo answered all my questions at the enter and discharge points. My cat is back home doing much better.

  • My dog got very sick in the middle of night and I didn’t know what to do. Luckily after a quick google search I found Animal Emergency and Urgent Care Center. They were quick to act when I got there and immediately took my dog to the back for her exam. After only a few minutes they presented me with an estimate which included all the tests they wanted to do to figure out what was wrong. Results came back in a couple hours and they were able to figure out she had pancreatitis. After a couple days in the hospital she came home feeling so much better and I can’t thank them enough! Everyone from the front desk staff to the technicians and the doctor were all so kind and kept me posted on her recovery every step of the way. I highly recommend anyone take their pet here if you have an emergency, they will treat your pet like family!

  • Excellent animal hospital, this guys made a fabulous job with my cat, doing a surgery on his abdomen for a foreign body. The team was amazing and very kind to explain every detail of the diagnostics and procedures. On the recovery, they kept in contact at all the time until my boy was ready to go home. I recommend this hospital when you have an emergency with your pets.

  • I brought my dog in because he was extremely lethargic. The team was amazing in making sure my dog was taken care and kept me involved every step of the way with all his treatments. After a few days in their care, I was able to take my dog home. I was extremely grateful for all their help.

  • We rushed our dog Tony to this urgent care center when we came home to find him in need of urgent care. The team immediately took him in, diagnosed him with pancreatitis and fluid in his lungs, and kept him under supervision for four days. We received updates every night, and thanks to their excellent care, Tony is now healthier than ever—he even stopped snoring! We’re so grateful for the amazing care they provided. Highly recommend!!
