  • Couches & warm, inviting colors create a more calming environment.

  • Overnight stays are available for owners who wish to stay with their pets.

  • Drop-off services let you leave your pet in our care while you go about your day—we’ll keep you updated by phone.

A Partnership That Values You & Your Staff

Our relationship with referring veterinarians is at the core of our success. We ask for your partnership to ensure seamless, high-quality emergency care for your clients. Your support strengthens our ability to provide exceptional patient care and a trusted resource for your practice.

  • Need resources? If you run out of urinary catheters, need blood for a transfusion, or require other emergency supplies, we are happy to sell or exchange products with our referring community.

  • Looking for a consult? Our emergency doctors are always available for case discussions or emergency management support.

  • Collaboration with Respect: Our doctors presume goodwill from all referring partners, fostering a judgment-free, supportive partnership. Unlike some hospitals, you will never receive dismissive or belittling responses from our vets. We teach our team to presume the best of everyone and never speak negatively about referring partners. We are committed to supporting you, your clients, and your patients with the highest level of care and professionalism.

  • 25% discount and no exam fees for all veterinary professionals at Beacon locations.

  • Training for your team: We offer lunch-and-learn sessions, CPR training, and emergency topics at your clinic. Reach out to marketing@BeaconER.Vet to schedule.
