24/7 Emergency Vet Joliet, Illinois

Supportive, Compassionate Care When Your Pet Needs It Most

When the worst happens, every second matters. And since pet emergencies tend to happen unexpectedly and outside normal business hours, you need a team that’s prepared to jump into action at a moment’s notice.  

That’s why our team at Emergency Veterinary Care Centers (EVCC) - Highland offers 24/7 emergency and critical care, 365 days a year. We are proud to have treated thousands of pets in the greater Chicagoland area and surrounding towns, such as Crown Point, Kankakee, Bourbonnais, Tinley Park and Cedar Lake, for more than a decade.  

Because we’re independently backed, we personalize every pet’s treatment plan based on their needs and diagnosis. With EVCC, there's no appointment needed—just bring your pet in, and our highly-skilled and trained team of doctors and team members will take it from there.
