Morris County NJ Emergency Vet Hospital for Sudden Illness or Injury

During office hours, Community Animal Hospital is well equipped and available to handle emergencies that may arise with your pet.

Unique among animal hospitals, we keep many unusual or perishable emergency drugs on hand for a wide variety of circumstances. Unlike other animal care facilities, we are able to treat animals on site for uncommon and acute emergencies, such as antifreeze intoxication.

In addition, we are well equipped to handle emergency surgery, diagnose sudden illnesses, and offer critical care and hospital services to small animal pets.
