Emergency Veterinarian in Killen

Center Star Veterinary Services provides emergency and urgent veterinary care for cats and dogs during our regular clinic hours. It's always best to contact us in advance if you can, but we understand that in emergency situations that's not always possible. 

If we are unable to fit your pet into our schedule, we recommend that you visit the after-hours emergency vet location shown above.

Our Killen animal hospital is just like a human doctor's office—it can be unpredictable and you may have to wait. 

We cannot predict what cases we will see and when they will arrive. If possible, call ahead to find out whether we are able to provide emergency care for your dog or cat.

If we are unable to fit an emergency appointment into our vet's schedule we recommend that you visit the 24/7 animal emergency hospitals detailed above.

Some veterinary emergencies require intensive overnight care. At Center Star Veterinary Services we provide overnight care for animals in need.

While in our care, our dedicated team will treat your pet as if they were our own.

Our emergency veterinarians are mostly experienced with cats and dogs.
