Accreditation

Level III certified

American Animal Hospital Association Accredited

Our Ocala clinic is Florida’s only Level III certified veterinary emergency facility and is recognized by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA).

PETS History

The concept of this emergency clinic originated with Ocala veterinarians who created the Pet Emergency Treatment Service Corporation (PETS) in 2012. In a unique collaboration, the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine and PETS joined forces to serve pet owners in the Marion County region. The purpose of the clinic is to bridge the gap during time periods when veterinarians’ offices are typically closed.
