Pet Emergency Treatment is a walk-in clinic for animals that serves both the Anchorage bowl and Alaskan “bush” communities.
Pet Emergency Treatment is open 24 hours to provide emergency and critical care. We work closely with your pet’s regular veterinarian and send our findings to them for follow up care. It is our intention to specialize predominantly in the emergency treatment of sick and injured animals. For this reason, we don’t perform spays/neuters or dental work.
Pet Emergency Treatment also has a migratory bird permit which allows us to temporarily treat migratory birds; which includes eagles, owls, and other wild birds. We then turn them over to the Bird Treatment and Learning Center and Alaska Wild Bird Rehabilitation for their future needs.
In 2011 alone we cared for over 300 wild birds comprising of 37 species. Included in this count were 4 bald eagles, a falcon, 5 owls, 40 seagulls and numerous ravens, magpies, downy woodpeckers and our favorite; drunk bohemian waxwings.

Now presenting:
Poquito
A real nightmare, Wednesday morning Robin was taking the dogs out (Poquito is a good boy and was off leash) when a much larger dog with a collar and even leash attached walked right into the front yard like a true predator looking for a meal. Robin ran toward Poqui as the big dog held him down on the ground, biting him. Robin started screaming and Poqui tried to get away, but the big dog lunged forward and grabbed him again this time by the stomach lifting him up as though he was trying to carry him off. Robin finally managed to scare the larger dog away, but to her horror, blood was gushing out of large holes in Poquito’s side to the beat of his heart. He tried to bite out of confusion and the horrible pain he was in, but Robin was able to calm him down and drive to Pet Emergency Treatment while a neighbor (who responded to the screaming earlier) caught and tied up the big dog before calling Animal Control.

My Chihuahua was at Pet Emergency Treatment for an abscess that ruptured. He was in a great deal of pain before we arrived, and was bleeding. I was worried the treatment would be too expensive and that we’d have to leave without treatment he needed. The staff at Pet Emergency Treatment were fantastic. DOG received exceptional care and with the help of the Roscoe Fund, he was able to get the treatment + antibiotics he needed. – Kim
