Emergency Pet Care
AFTER HOURS PET EMERGENCY?
At Cahaba Valley Animal Clinic, your pet’s health and well-being is most important to us. While we hope that you will never need us for emergency pet care, we are here for you and your pet when you need us.
For pet emergencies during business hours, please contact us immediately at (205) 980-0078 so that we know that you are on your way. We do offer same-day appointments and accept walk-ins, but this will give our team the time needed to prepare for your pet’s arrival. We are located at 2209 Cahaba Valley Drive in the Cahaba Valley Office Park, near the intersection of Hwy 280 and Hwy 119.
