After Hours Help for Your Sarasota Pet
Over the years, my business partner, Sandy Whitehead and I have had some interesting special requests from customers, and this past weekend Sandy was asked if there was a 24-hr emergency vet service. Although Sandy and I both have doggies, we have never had to use our vet’s emergency services so I did a little online research. Google came through for us, and our customer contacted Critical Vet Care, 4937 S Tamiami Trail. For 24/7 emergency services, contact them at 941-929-1818. The staff and vet were courteous and caring. Our customer's pet is doing well now, and she highly recommends this service. Visit Critical Vet Care's website for information about their emergency services and meet the doctors. The site provides plenty of customer testimonials too.
