Where can I go in an emergency?
Anchor Animal Hospital is available for emergencies Monday-Thursday 8 AM – 8 PM, Friday 8 AM – 5 PM, and Saturday 8 AM – 5 PM.

We work with several emergency hospitals in the area to provide service outside of these hours. If your pet is having an emergency outside of these hours we recommend that you bring them to either MA-RI Veterinary Emergency, in Swansea, or Cape Cod Veterinary Specialists, in Buzzards Bay. We receive detailed reports regarding your pet’s condition and are happy to provide any needed follow-up or further care needed.

If possible please call first so that we can anticipate your pet’s arrival during an emergency.
