VES-Middleton, located at 1612 North High Point Road and VES-East Madison at 4902 East Broadway,(both just off the Beltline), employ 66 people working three shifts each day. VES-Middleton has been open 24/7 since 2003 and VES East Madison will go 24/7 May 1, 2010.
In addition to pet owners contacting Veterinary Emergency Service directly, many veterinarians refer their "after hours" calls to Veterinary Emergency Service so their clients can be assured of around-the-clock critical care.
I also believe in giving back to the community. Veterinarian Emergency Service supports and is active in animal-related non-profit organizations including, Angels Wish, Dane County Humane Society, Friends of Ferals and Shelter from the Storm.
VES stays ahead of the curve by continually expanding into new arenas.
Dr. Tobin Eshelman, a veterinarian who specializes in providing advanced surgeries for cats and dogs joined us in February 2008. He performs complicated knee injury surgeries on dogs, neurosurgery, cancer surgery and emergency surgeries as they are presented.
Dr. Amanda Wagner is excited to join VES in September of 2010. She will be offering Internal Medicine specialty care, including diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, endocrine disorders and metabolic disease. She has particular interests in feline medicine, gastroenterology, autoimmune disease and infectious disease. She is currently involved in a research project investigating urinary markers of kidney disease in cats.
VES will also be adding an oncologist in October 2010.
I hope you never need our services, but if you do, VES is here 24/7 to serve the medical needs of your pet.

News & Events
Announcement!
Veterinary Emergency Service East Clinic goes 24/7!
May 1, 2010
In June 2003, Veterinary Emergency Service opened it's doors as a nights and weekends urgent care clinic in Middleton. But soon the clinic grew into a 24 hour facility.
Veterinary Emergency Service realized a need for a night and weekend urgent care facility on the east side of Madison and in November 2007, opened Veterinary Emergency Service – East.
Now the Madison area veterinarians and the Madison community are asking for Veterinary Emergency Service – East to extend it's clinic hours. Because of this request, we are pleased to announce that as of May 1, 2010 our east side doors will remain open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
Veterinary Emergency Service Continues to Grow
More than half the families in Middleton and Madison have pets. Since cats and dogs and other pets (like people) don't always have emergencies during the day when it would be more convenient for their owners, I opened 2 pet urgent care clinics. My goal is to provide same day service for pet owners, when possible. VES encourages people to call ahead, even as they are heading to the clinic, so we can anticipate and be prepared for the emergency unfolding."VES-Middleton, located at 1612 North High Point Road and VES-East Madison at 4902 East Broadway,(both just off the Beltline), employ 66 people working three shifts each day.
