Huntsville Veterinary Specialists & Emergency

They saved my babies life plain and simple. My indoor/outdoor cat got into rat poison somewhere in the neighborhood and they did a plasma transfusion. That was 3 weeks ago- other than the shaved spots and being a few pounds lighter than normal he’s back to good as new. I’m forever grateful.

My go-to place, such wonderful caring staff. Dr. Jenkins was very kind and always took time to explain everything and listen to all my questions. And the staff loved on her and took wonderful care of my baby. Thank you guys again, I hope I dont have to see you guys again too soon but it's such a weight off my mind to know I have a place where she will be well cared for by staff who are all pet owners and animal lovers just as I am.

Dr. Scott and the staff at this facility were incredible to us at such a difficult time. Our elderly pup was at the end of his journey. I was greeted with helpful smiling faces as we entered the facility. The room we were placed in felt and looked more like a sitting room and did not read cold or medicinal. The room was large with a couch, chair, fuzzy rug, and colorful art. I never felt rushed in making a decision. All options were provided. Dr. Scott is the kindest and most compassionate vet I've ever encountered! She provided a comfortable atmosphere for me and Mr. Gauge in our last moments together. Thank you for taking such good care of our sweet boy!

Came to Huntsville Veterinary Specialists and Emergency all the way from Cullman at 2:00 AM. It was so worth it!! Our 1&1/2 year old kitty Scratchy wasn’t feeling herself, shook like she was in pain and wouldn’t let myself or my Husband pet her. We couldn’t see anything wrong and no vet in Cullman was available. I called first and told them what was going on over the phone. They were very understanding and courteous and told us to come on in. Registration was a breeze!! Scratchy was seen within minutes!! I can’t begin to tell you how genuinely sweet and helpful the staff is!! Christina held her in a blanket in the exam room, and someone even sang to her!! It meant so much to us!! Dr. Ruby came in, and we found out Scratchy had the tiniest of puncture wounds on her neck, a scratch on her ear, and was uncomfortable due to pain. My husband and I couldn’t even tell, but Dr. Ruby found it!! She shaved her neck, gave her an antibiotic and some pain medication. Dr. Ruby spoke softly and kept a comforting smile as she talked to us one on one, explained every detail to us, and gave the most thorough directions on proper treatment. She assured us more than once that our baby Scratchy will be just fine in a week or two. She was so happy that we came in. We got there in time before an abscess occurred. Which probably would have happened if we had waited till Monday for our vet here in Cullman. I am so grateful for the 24/7 help Dr. Ruby and the staff provide at HVSE!! Before we left, Christina went through everything again and told us the amount of medication to give her, when to give it to her, and how. She even wrote notes on the packaging for us!! When we needed a vet the most and at the most insane hour, they were there!! More than ready to help Scratchy!! I couldn’t ever thank them enough!! Such a pleasant experience during a very difficult time!! They made EVERYTHING BETTER!! The girls at check out were great and made the transaction so simple!! The overall experience was everything I could have ever asked for and more!! If you have the ability, and your fur baby needs emergency help in the dead of night/morning, GO HERE.

Thank you to the veterinary specialist and staff for taking great care of my Jasen. Jasen because very ill. We live in Houston but have been in Huntsville for over a year caring for my mother who was diagnosed with cancer. I don’t have a local vet but HVSE came to my rescue yet second time coming to HVSE. The first time we saw Dr. Nicely and saw her again this time. She is just as her name says super “nice” on both occasions. I also must give a shout out to Dr. Scott. Dr. Scott has the most pleasant disposition. Her voice messages left at 6:20 AM updating me about Jasen were so kind and in laymen terms. There were other veterinarians, nurses and staff who cared for my precious Jasen I am sorry I can’t remember all of the names, but I am thankful to you as well. Jasen did not pull thru but he definitely gave me 16 wonderful years. Thank you, HSVE for helping me through his last days. RIH Jasen💔 🐶
