Richmond emergency vet FAQ

Which Richmond emergency vets are open 24/7?

Partner Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Center (Henrico) and Virginia Veterinary Centers (W Cary St) operate around the clock. BluePearl provides evening, overnight, and weekend emergency coverage — call first to confirm.

Should I go to an ER or urgent care?

Life-threatening signs (trouble breathing, collapse, bloat, major bleeding, toxin ingestion, a male cat straining to urinate) → ER immediately. Non-life-threatening issues (ear infection, minor limping, mild vomiting) → urgent care like UrgentVet Carytown costs significantly less.

How much does an emergency vet visit cost in Richmond?

Expect a $150–$200 exam fee to walk in the door, with total bills of $800–$1,500 for typical emergencies and $2,500–$5,000+ for surgery or hospitalization. See our full cost breakdown.

Do I need an appointment at a pet ER?

No — ERs take walk-ins and triage by severity. But calling ahead lets the team prepare and can direct you elsewhere if their wait is long.
