Hospitalization
If your pet requires intensive care, Beacon provides 24/7 hospitalization with around-the-clock veterinary and nursing support at our emergency hospitals in St. Petersburg, Riverview, and Land O’ Lakes.
Our hospitals are equipped to provide advanced inpatient care, including fluid therapy, IV and oral medications, pain control, oxygen support, repeat diagnostics, and ongoing monitoring to track your pet’s progress.
You can expect medical updates from Beacon twice daily, typically around day-to-night shift change. You are also welcome to call for updates anytime. In-person visits are always welcome. Our medical team performs shift changes and patient rounds daily around 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., so we ask for limited visitation during those times to help our team communicate clearly and stay focused on patient care.
Owners are always welcome to stay with their pets, including overnight. You are also welcome to use drop-off hospitalization if that works better for you and your family. Our goal is to provide excellent medical care while giving you the option that brings the most comfort and peace of mind.
Diagnostics & Imaging
At Beacon’s 24/7 emergency hospitals in St. Petersburg, Riverview, and Land O’ Lakes, diagnostic testing and imaging help our team quickly understand what is happening and build the best treatment plan for your pet.
Pets often hide pain and illness, so diagnostics are an important part of emergency care. Bloodwork, X-rays, ultrasound, and other testing can help our veterinary team identify the problem, monitor your pet’s condition, and guide the next steps in treatment.
Walk-ins are welcome, and no appointment is needed.
