Jefferson Animal Hospital welcomes the opportunity to partner with you in caring for your patients with the highest level of 24/7 emergency and critical care. We have a veterinary team of doctors, nurses, and critical care teams available 24/7 to support your practice every day of the year. We believe we are an extension of your team and are committed to delivering the same high standard of veterinary service your clients expect from you. It’s our privilege to care for your referred patients the same way you do, with expertise and compassion.
To make an emergency/critical care transfer: Please call us in advance at 502-900-7387, so we can be adequately prepared. Our client care team will confirm the details and connect you to ensure a seamless transfer. Call our office to discuss the case and transition of care with one of our doctors.
We look forward to partnering with you, and welcome your telephone calls, faxes, and e-mails. If you would like to consult with one of our doctors on a particular case, or have questions regarding a patient that is currently undergoing treatment at our facility, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
While a patient is under our care, we will provide timely updates and ensure you are kept fully informed throughout the course of treatment. It is never our intention to replace the trusted bond you have built. We are here to support it.
Following each appointment, we promptly send a full summary of findings, treatment recommendations, and any imaging or lab results directly to your practice. If our mutual client seeks immediate care during regular business hours and lists your practice as their primary veterinarian, we’ll encourage them to contact you first to determine if their pet can be seen at your clinic.
If a patient may require advanced procedures such as surgery, ultrasound, or endoscopy, we will make every effort to contact you in advance to review the case and honor your preferences for case management.
Jefferson Animal Hospital operates a nationally-recognized blood bank for pets. Just like humans, pets may require transfusions for a variety of reasons, like illness (for example, cancer, anemia, parvovirus), traumatic injury or blood loss as a result of surgery. Our blood bank sends blood to emergency centers all over the country. Demand for this resource at times exceeds supply, especially during certain times of the year (like holidays, and warm summer months where trauma cases are more likely to be seen). When this happens, hospitals in need are sometimes placed on a waiting list, which can cause delays in treatment for pets in need.
We are one of the only animal hospitals in our region to provide a comprehensive continuum of veterinary care for dogs and cats through wellness, urgent, critical and emergency care, including emergency and general surgical intervention, intensive care wellness, and outpatient care services.
Meet the Veterinarians who carry out our mission 24/7 of providing compassionate, competent veterinary care to our patients and clients, in an atmosphere of loving concern.
