24/7 PetVets

What 24/7 PetVets does

24/7 PetVets is an emergency and specialty veterinary hospital headquartered at 1639 N. Fresno Street, Fresno, California, operating continuously (24 hours per day, 7 days per week) to serve pet owners and referring primary care veterinarians across California's Central Valley. The practice was founded in 1975 as Veterinary Emergency Service and was rebranded to 24/7 PetVets in 2018; it is AAHA-accredited and currently positions itself as the longest continuously operating emergency veterinary provider in the region. Service lines comprise four core offerings: 24/7 emergency and critical care (walk-in, urgent care, and transfers), board-certified surgical services (orthopedic, soft tissue, neurologic, oncologic, and cardio/thoracic), specialty cardiology (ECG, echocardiography, heart radiography, blood pressure evaluation), and comprehensive oncology (medical, radiation, and surgical oncology for cats and dogs).

The facility is equipped with continuous cardiac telemetry, pulse oximetry, blood pressure monitoring, an in-house laboratory, digital radiography, ultrasound, oxygen-enriched ICU units, and advanced treatment modalities including blood component therapy, rattlesnake antivenom administration, endoscopy, and rhinoscopy. The clinical team includes a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (DACVS), a board-certified cardiologist (DACVIM), an emergency/critical care DVM, supervisory staff, and veterinary assistants. Practice management runs on Cornerstone Software, and the public-facing website/communications platform is powered by PetDesk.

The business model is fee-for-service across all four product lines, with quote-based (non-publicly disclosed) pricing on emergency cases and specialty procedures. Revenue is collected via cash, major credit cards, PayPal, CareCredit (healthcare financing), and ScratchPay (veterinary payment plans). Customer acquisition is event-driven for the emergency line (walk-ins, urgent presentations, transfers) and referral-driven for specialty services (case transfers from primary care veterinarians throughout Central California). Marketing is primarily content-led (educational blog on pet safety, seasonal hazards, preventive health), supplemented by organic social (Facebook, X), local SEO targeting "emergency vet Fresno/Central Valley" queries, and direct referral relationships. The company is independently owned with no disclosed venture or private-equity backing.
