Coastal Animal Referral Emergency (CARE)

I can’t explain enough on how much this place has helped me and my dog. The care, compassion, explanations, etc. They love your animals like it’s their own. They understand and listen to your struggles when you talk with them. My dog (Bella-Boo) who is 13 years old (Little ild senior dog), went for pancreatitis and a syncope episode (scared the hell out of me). Both times they took amazing care of her, they were calm, knew what they were doing, always explained everything well, knew what needed to get done. But also their bedside manner, is beyond any place I have been to in my life. With me running in the doors at 10pm at night with my dog just waking up from an episode, to getting her seen and checked on immediately, to consoling me with this whirl wind of an experience and explaining what is happening. There are no words that will explain how deeply this place means to me, and the ongoing care, compassion, knowledge and skills these individuals have, that have helped keep my dog alive, but also helped me when I was panicked, grieving, etc. She’s alive and well because of them. Thank you to EVERYONE at CARE for all you’ve done, from the continued support, dedication and high level care. This community is lucky to have you all.

The entire staff at this clinic was empathetic, kind, and helpful. They were efficient and professional, and they very clearly cared about my dog like he was their own. They assisted me with the financing process through Cherry, and did everything they possibly could to make sure I was able to get my dog what he needed. Most importantly, they saved my dog’s life, treated him like family, and kept us updated every step of the way. Im certain Whiskey received the best treatment that is available in this area. I am so incredibly grateful.

I can’t say enough about the incredible care my cat received at CARE. Every person I encountered with shared genuine compassion and concern for my cats wellbeing from the moment we called. In particular however, Dr. Stevens and Brianna went above and beyond in every way. Brianna was phenomenal as she not only provided expert care but also took the time to explain everything to me, ensuring I fully understood my cat’s treatment options and aftercare. Dr. Steven’s kept me updated and informed throughout the entirety of my cats surgery and showed true care for what he does. Their compassion, attention to detail and dedication made a very stressful experience so much easier. I truly felt like my cat was in the absolute best hands. Thank you Dr. Stevens and Brianna for going the extra mile and showing such care to my baby

I brought my dog in during a really stressful scare, and the entire team treated us with so much kindness, patience, and respect. They took the time to explain everything, reassured me every step of the way, and made sure my pup was comfortable and cared for. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and the animals they help. I’m incredibly grateful for their compassion and professionalism — highly recommend this clinic to anyone who wants their pet in truly caring hands. I can't thank you all enough!

CARE’s staff is amazing. Our girl suffered from chronic “happy tail” that we tried catering to that lead to an emergency amputation. They got her in right away, checked her over and allowed us to reach out to other vets for the surgery. They provided the meds she needed to hold her over to the next day. CARE is empathetic and truly cares for your furbaby. Raya and her family thanks CARE for all they did for her.

Came to Williamsburg from out of town and our puppy was not feeling well. Coastal Animal Care took us in ASAP and found an item inside her (we are still trying to figure out what it was) and took her into surgery. Not only they took care of her but kept us updated non stop. The staff and doctor are so friendly and understanding. 100% recommendations! Thank you for saving our Maggie!

Thank you Dr. Stevens for everything you and your staff did to save my boys. I personally had a good experience from the moment I walked into the door. Facility was easy to find, friendly, compassionate, clean, and welcoming. I know how tough the job is that you all do everyday. Thank you for keeping me updated and helping me along the way even when that meant making the hardest decision as an owner and say goodbye to one. I know now I did the right thing, I gave it my all, and you did all you could for my babies. I will definitely recommend you when I can. Thank you all again and I wish you all the best. -Brittany and Lance -Dixon -Tater Tot 🌈 💙

We brought our german shepherd Gunter here for emergency care. the facility is beautiful and immaculately clean. the tech and the doc gave us the highest level of care and positivity despite being totally swamped with incoming patients. they were thorough and reasonably priced given that they handle emergencies. they handled my large dog with ease and even trimmed his nails for me while he was knocked out. i cant thank them enough for treating my dog in a pinch.

Our primary vet recommended this place when they didn't have the manning to help my pup Krypto out. He had an open head wound from a seroma rupture. The staff were professional and friendly and the doctor didn't rush or push for unnecessary expensive procedures or imaging. I also appreciated their quoting process. They quoted on the absolute high end of potential cost, but when it came time to pay, it was nearly half of what I was initially quoted. So no last minute price shock. They were quick as well. I've taken other dogs to emergency vets before and ended up waiting hours before being seen. My pup was in something like 30 minutes, maybe less of arrival. And not much longer after that he was getting his wound cleaned up and sutured. The facility is really nice as well. They even have refreshments for the owners while we wait. If I ever need to take a pet to an E-Clinic again, this is where I intend on going in the future.

Dr.Moin and Courtney were absolutely amazing while taking care of my girl, Dixie. They were so kind and very efficient. I believe the cost 100% reflected the care provided. Dixie says thank you for the really good nap and the meds that will get her on the mend! I definitely recommend them for all of you emergency needs.
