Emergency Vets in Miami

The flagship Knowles hospital in west Miami, originally founded by Dr. Knowles in 1956 and now part of VCA. Operates a true 24/7 emergency room with on-site ER vets plus specialty surgery, internal medicine and dentistry. Bilingual reception and most clinicians speak Spanish - extremely useful for Latin American visitors.

An emergency-only veterinary practice on Biscayne Boulevard in Edgewater, just north of downtown and a short Uber ride from Brickell, Wynwood and South Beach. Open-floor design lets owners stay with their pet through the entire visit (no separate waiting room). Walk-in 24/7, no appointments. Treats dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and small exotics.

The Kendall-area sister to Knowles Central, also 24/7. Particularly convenient if you are staying in Coral Gables, Pinecrest or south Miami: faster than driving up to Edgewater or NW Miami at night. Bilingual English-Spanish staff and bilingual signage; the hospital handles general practice during the day and emergency triage around the clock.
