About Our Veterinary Hospital
Few aspects of pet ownership are more frightening than an emergency when your family veterinarian’s office is closed. Animal Emergency is an emergency animal hospital that focuses on the treatment of trauma, critical care and complicated medical problems.
Animal Emergency and Specialty Center (AESC) was established in 1993 as a critical care animal hospital to care for your pet’s veterinary needs. We work as a team with your family veterinarian, sharing information and common goals. We are no further away than your phone. A well trained, experienced and caring team member can answer your questions and advise you regarding your pet’s problem.

We’ve been with Uptown Animal Hospital since it opened, following Dr DeWitt there. We’ve always appreciated their conservative approach to our dogs care. We have especially appreciated their genuine concern when we’ve had to say goodbye to a member of our family.

We received excellent care for our little Yorkie Joy. The staff was very caring and efficient. The entire area was spotlessly clean. The staff was attentive to each person, comforting and caring! I felt very assured that our pets needs would be met. I really can’t say enough about the wonderful care we received. Many thanks to all!

The staff and Vets were very helpful and went to all lengths to care for my tiny puppy. Although the case is difficult and ongoing I am confident they are doing everything they know to do to help my puppy recover.

Our wonderful pitbull Elmo was first diagnosed at Wheaton Way Vet by Dr. Brian Krisko with having a large mass on his spleen. They quickly referred us to Dr. Peter Hetrick at AESC Poulsbo that same afternoon where they scheduled Elmo for an immediate splenectomy. The care team overnight kept him comfortable and stabilized after a completely successful surgery. We wish to t...

My beautiful boy cat fell into critical condition very unexpectedly and we had to say goodbye to him. The past 24 hours have been awful, but reflecting back on every interaction at this vet— they are amazing and compassionate. We’re blessed to have this resource in our community. The doctor and every staff member were excellent. Thank you
