Veterinary Emergency + Critical Care

What Veterinary Emergency + Critical Care does

Veterinary Emergency + Critical Care (VECC) operates a 24/7 emergency and specialty veterinary hospital network in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving pet owners directly and acting as a referral destination for primary care veterinarians across Southern Nevada. Founded in 2011, the network runs two co-located facilities at its Tropicana & Durango campus — the VECC emergency hospital, open 365 days a year with no appointment required, and the Las Vegas Veterinary Specialty Center (LVVSC), which provides scheduled specialty services across anesthesiology, cardiology, internal medicine, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, and surgery. A third location, North Rainbow Veterinary Emergency Hospital, is scheduled to open in Fall 2026 at 4445 N Rainbow Blvd.

The operation is unusually equipment-intensive for a single-market veterinary clinic. On-site capabilities include what VECC describes as the first MRI machine in the United States built specifically for veterinary medicine (deployed April 2016), CT scanning, digital X-ray, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, endoscopic procedures, five surgery suites, on-site blood/urine/stool labs, an on-site pharmacy, and a community veterinary blood bank. Patient management runs on EzyVet, and payments are accepted via traditional cards alongside CareCredit and Affirm financing.

VECC is a member of Veritas Veterinary Partners, a national network of specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals. Revenue is generated through professional services billed at time of treatment, with no publicly disclosed pricing; the dominant demand drivers are 24/7 walk-in emergency visits, primary care vet referrals into specialty, and word-of-mouth in the Las Vegas pet-owner community. Marketing is conducted through organic social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) and an educational blog, with no paid acquisition or enterprise sales motion.
