Pet Emergency Treatment Inc

What Pet Emergency Treatment Inc does

Pet Emergency Treatment Inc (PET) is a privately held veterinary emergency and specialty hospital headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, founded in the late 1970s by a group of local veterinarians to address the unmet need for after-hours critical care. It operates the only 24/7/365 emergency veterinary facility in the Anchorage metropolitan area, complemented by a separate PET Urgent Care outpatient site at 6613 Brayton Dr. open 10 AM to 10 PM daily for non-emergent cases such as ear infections, torn toenails, and vaccinations.

The hospital's clinical offering spans emergency and critical care, advanced imaging (CT scanner, digital radiography), endoscopy, in-house laboratory diagnostics, internal medicine, orthopedic and soft tissue surgery, dentistry and oral surgery, and stem cell therapy. PET is the only hospital in Alaska with in-house stem cell production capability, which compresses treatment cycle times for regenerative medicine cases. The clinical staff includes three board-certified specialists — a DACVIM in small animal internal medicine, a DACVS-LA in surgery, and a DAVDC in dentistry — plus a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist, representing an unusual density of credentialed specialists for a market of Alaska's size.

The business model is professional services fee-for-service, with pricing quoted at the time of service and payment accepted via cash, all major credit cards, CareCredit, Scratchpay, and pet insurance. PET sits within the National Veterinary Associates (NVA) portfolio of veterinary hospitals. Distribution is primarily walk-in emergency access, a formal referral pipeline from primary care veterinarians across Alaska (with dedicated intake forms for emergency, internal medicine, CT, surgery, and dentistry), and the urgent care walk-in channel. The hospital serves Anchorage, Eagle River, Wasilla, and surrounding Alaska communities.
