Our Mission

At Georgia Veterinary Emergency and Triage Services (GVETS), our mission is simple: to provide life-saving, compassionate emergency care when local veterinarians are closed. We are proud to be the only dedicated overnight veterinary emergency hospital in a 60-mile radius, serving pet owners and veterinary professionals across Athens, Watkinsville, Oconee County, and surrounding areas.

At GVETS, our dedicated medical team brings skill, urgency, and compassion to every case. With specialized training in emergency and critical care, our doctors and veterinary staff are equipped to handle the most complex and time-sensitive situations — from trauma and surgery to pet toxicities and overnight monitoring.

We know that emergency visits are stressful for both pets and their people. That’s why our team focuses not only on expert treatment, but also on clear communication and calm reassurance — so you always know your pet is in capable, caring hands.
