OUR SPACE

A clear view of the care your pet receives.

In an emergency, not knowing what is happening can be one of the hardest parts. At Greenlight Pet ER, our large glass window into the treatment area gives pet parents visibility into their pet’s care while preserving a safe, protected clinical environment.

This separation allows our medical team to provide the best possible care with the focus, cleanliness, and infection-control standards each patient deserves — while helping you remain connected to your pet’s journey.

I highly recommend this emergency vet to anyone looking for excellent care for their furry babies! I took my dog Mocha there last night because she was having stomach issues. It was our first visit, and I’m so grateful to have such a wonderful ER so close to home! The staff was incredibly friendly, caring, and attentive. They treated Mocha with so much care and made sure she was comfortable throughout her visit. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby!

We cannot thank Greenlight Pet ER enough for the compassion and kindness they showed our family when we had to make the heartbreaking decision to put our beloved 17-year-old dog, Chewy, to eternal sleep. Saying goodbye after so many years together was incredibly difficult, but their team treated us and Chewy with such care, dignity, and understanding. They were amazing in every aspect and helped us feel supported during one of our hardest moments. We will always be grateful for their kindness and would wholeheartedly recommend Greenlight Pet ER to anyone needing compassionate care for their pet. Thank you for being there for our family. ❤️🐾 The Bitner's.

I truly appreciate the support and care this Pet ER provides. My dog was experiencing a medical emergency and this was the first place I thought of to bring her to. Dr. O’Neill and her team worked quickly to triage my baby and get her stable so we can transfer her to another emergency vet due to another emergent case they had to deal with. If it hadn’t been for her team and quick action my dog’s outcome could had been worse. Dr. O’Neill is a very caring doctor and even thought to place a follow up call to make sure my dog was doing okay now. Thank you again for all of the care your vet and team has provided for me and my fur baby.
