In Tucson, the Veterinary Specialty Center of Tucson (VSCOT) stands out as a beacon of hope for pet owners facing emergencies.

Our comprehensive services extend beyond emergency care to include specialty veterinary services, which are available by appointment with our Board-Certified Surgeon and Radiologist. The commitment to quality care is evident in our choice of staff; VSCOT prides itself on having senior in-house doctors rather than rotating relief doctors, ensuring continuity and expertise in the care provided.

Took my dog there and they were very quick, professional and friendly. They figured out what was wrong and got him some meds and told me what I needed to do next for him .
Thank you so much

The hospital experience was exceptional. My dog required an emergent transfer from our veterinarian, and the hospital already had his profile prepared and was ready to receive him upon arrival. The staff—from the front desk to the doctors—were incredibly kind and supportive throughout the entire three-day stay. They were easy to reach for updates, provided thorough information, and took the time to answer all of my questions. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I have absolutely no complaints.

Tank had a sarcoma on his back left leg. Dr Klaus and the team did Ultrasounds and determined the cancer had not metastasized. Tank is 13 so I didn’t want to remove the sarcoma if the cancer had invaded other parts of his body.
Dr. Moore and Barb and Rocky took it from there and successfully removed the tumor at the margins. From the front desk to the vets to the treatment Tank received from the surgical team, everyone there makes you feel like they care about your pet as much as you do. Dr. Moore and the team gave me a high level of confidence on the outcome and they were wonderful with this helicopter dog mom. My sincere thanks!

The staff at this place is honestly phenomenal. I had a severe emergency with my cat that was stemming from an underlying health condition I was aware of. He unfortunately lost all mobility in his back legs suddenly and I quickly dropped everything to rush him to this center specifically. My poor kitty unfortunately wasn't going to make it and I knew full well going into the place that was going to be the case. The staff here acted quickly to take my kitty and start providing care to attempt to stabilize and help with his pain. They quickly were able to run tests and get me some information on what he was going through. The staff unfortunately had trouble keeping his IV in during his final moments and things were a bit more commotional then I would've liked but the staff was very compassionate and did everything they could for him and me. I recommend them for anyone going through an emergency with a loved furry family member.
