Animal Emergency Hospital of North Texas

What Animal Emergency Hospital of North Texas does

Animal Emergency Hospital of North Texas (AEHNT) is a 24/7/365 emergency and critical care veterinary hospital founded in 1998 in Grapevine, Texas, and owned by National Veterinary Associates (NVA). It operates from a 15,000-square-foot facility within the Veterinary Specialty Center, with 8 exam rooms and 2 surgery suites, and is co-located with seven specialty practices spanning cardiology, surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, dentistry, avian/exotics, and physical rehabilitation, enabling on-site specialist referrals without patient transport. Service lines include emergency care, weekend urgent care (Friday 12pm–6pm, Saturday–Sunday 8am–8pm), exotic pet emergency care, overnight hospitalization and monitoring, and an in-house AEHNT Blood Bank for canine and feline transfusions.

The hospital is equipped with conventional veterinary diagnostic and treatment infrastructure including an in-house laboratory, digital radiography, focused ultrasound, endoscopy, multiple Snyder and high-flow oxygen units, defibrillation, and a blood bank. Workflows are supported by an ezyvet online booking portal and an eExpress mobile check-in platform, with patient financing offered through CareCredit and Scratchpay. Pricing is per-visit transactional: a standard exam fee of $170 (holiday rate $195) plus variable fees for diagnostics, treatments, procedures, and overnight hospitalization. The go-to-market model is direct-to-consumer walk-in emergency and urgent care, supplemented by a referral channel from primary care veterinarians across North Texas and by inbound transfers for overnight monitoring of hospitalized and post-surgical patients. Geographic restrictions exclude monkeys and large hooved animals.

AEHNT employs 101–250 staff across clinical, technical, and administrative functions, and operates within a privacy and compliance framework administered by NVA (CCPA-compliant, WCAG-aligned website). The primary customer segments are pet owners seeking emergency, urgent, exotic, and overnight care, and primary care veterinarians referring after-hours cases; no enterprise customer concentration is disclosed and no revenue figure is publicly available.

Direct peers

• BluePearl Specialty + Emergency Pet Hospital: BluePearl operates emergency and specialty veterinary hospitals nationally, including locations in the DFW market. The closest direct competitor combining ER triage with multi-specialty depth, comparable to AEHNT's Veterinary Specialty Center footprint.
