Emergency and urgent care vets in Kentucky

Practices in Kentucky that say they take emergency or urgent cases include Barbour Lane Animal Hospital in Louisville, BluePearl Pet Hospital Louisville in Louisville, Hillview Animal Hospital & Clinic in Louisville, Jefferson Animal Hospital & Regional Emergency Center in Louisville and Jefferson Animal Hospital Fern Creek in Louisville, and 35 more listed below by city. 6 of them say they are open 24 hours.

40 practices across 28 cities, out of the 353 we list in Kentucky. Each one says so on its own website, which is where we read it.

These practices describe urgent or emergency work on their own websites. That is not the same as being open right now, and it is not the same as a dedicated emergency hospital: hours change, rotas change, and a practice that takes urgent cases on a weekday may not on a Sunday. Phone before you drive. If an animal is in trouble this minute, call the nearest emergency veterinary hospital rather than working down a list.
