About Pet Emergency Clinic & Referral Center

The Pet Emergency Clinic & Referral Center was established in 1977 to provide emergency and critical care during evenings, weekends, and holidays when many other regular veterinary clinics are typically closed. Since then, we have expanded to include specialty services during weekday business hours. We have an excellent relationship with our in-house specialists (surgeons, radiologists, and internal medicine) and the referring veterinarian community. We are a team that values a positive working environment and opportunities to learn. Spokane is located in Eastern Washington, a beautiful region with countless outdoor activities including downhill skiing, hiking, and biking as well as wonderful restaurants and numerous cultural activities.
