Just a short drive away, Emergency Veterinary Care Centers (EVCC) – Saginaw provides emergency and critical care services for dogs and cats across the Great Lakes Bay Region, available from Fridays at 7 PM through Mondays at 8:30 AM.*
*While our facility closes at 8:30 AM on Mondays, the last patient will be seen at 7 AM to allow adequate time for treatment. We kindly ask that you plan your visit accordingly to ensure your pet receives the care they need. Thank you for understanding.
From the moment you arrive, our dedicated emergency team is ready to help. We prioritize efficient triage, clear communication, and compassionate care. So, whether you’re a local pet owner or traveling with your pet, you’ll feel supported and informed every step of the way. Our team will guide you through check-in, answer your questions, and keep you updated throughout your visit.
As an emergency-only veterinary hospital, our sole focus is urgent and critical care. We don’t offer routine or wellness services—just experienced emergency professionals working together to treat critical cases quickly and effectively.
Now proudly serving Frankenmuth, EVCC Saginaw is the sixth EVCC location and third in Michigan. Since 2003, EVCC has remained independently owned, providing trusted emergency veterinary care across the Midwest.

‘Get in Line’ From Home
To help minimize stress, you can secure your place in line before you leave home. Don’t worry, we’ll notify you via text when it’s your turn to come in.
A few things to keep in mind...
- This is not an appointment. Your pet’s estimated visit time is just that—an estimate. Visit times can change based on caseload and the urgency of other patients' needs.
- To keep things simple and stress-free, we’ll send you text updates to let you know when to come in. If there’s a change in your estimated visit time, we’ll notify you right away.
- If your pet is experiencing a crisis or needs immediate care, please don’t wait. Call us or come in right away!
- When you arrive, we’ll assess your pet’s condition. If their situation is critical, they’ll be seen immediately. If they’re stable, your reserved place in line will be held.
Understanding ER Wait Times
Upon arrival, our team will promptly evaluate your pet’s condition. Pets in critical condition are treated immediately, while those who are stable may need to wait as more urgent cases are prioritized.*
We know waiting can be stressful, so we’ll keep you informed and updated throughout your visit.
*If your pet’s condition changes during your visit, please notify us immediately so we can reassess their triage level.
