  I can not stress enough how grateful I am for the caring staff. My puppy had parvo and they took such good care of him. They kept me updated every couple of hours throughout the evening and first thing in the morning. I hope I never need emergency pet care again, but if I do I would definitely go back here. They're wonderful.

  If more than 5 stars were possible I’d be giving them! We can can’t thank Dr. Hunt and the Staff of DAEC enough. We took our 7 year old GSD in at 10:15 pm Friday night after she suddenly began having difficulty breathing and became very lethargic. We called ahead to let them know we were coming and from the time we walked in the door they were on it. One of the female Techs came from the back and took her from my arms (she’s a 92lb full grown GSD) and carried her into the treatment area where they began assessing and treating her. Another Tech came and asked us some question to help them continue their care. Less than a half hour later Dr. Hunt came to us and explained everything that that was going on, what they had done, what he expected the problem was, and what our options were (a mass on her spleen, which we were not aware of, appeared to have burst and was causing abdominal bleeding). We had a difficult choice to make and Dr. Hunt and the team were not only informative but caring and compassionate. While the odds were not in favor of a positive outcome we opted for the emergency surgery to give our girl the best chance. At 3:30am Dr. Hunt let us know the surgery had gone well, the tumor and her spleen had been removed, the bleeding had been stoped and she had done well. I’m happy to say less than 48 hours later we have our girl back home, resting and recovering. She’s not out of the woods yet as there is a high probability the tumor was cancerous but, at least we have more time with our girl, whether it’s another couple weeks or several years. Thank you again to everyone at DAEC. You are incredible!!!

  Stopped in a Sunday because my dogs eye is infected. We waited one hour in the main lobby and over an hour in the back! ZERO updates! ZERO communication! When I asked for an update I was told they had NO IDEA because an emergency came in. Had they communicated that we could have left and went somewhere else! My dog needed about 30 second exam and an antibiotic drop! It’s totally ridiculous! We had to walk out without being seen because my girl was tired of waiting and became very anxious! 2 hours TOTALLY wasted! Don’t go here unless you have NO OTHER OPTION!!!!

  This is an ER so the wait is long. However, the staff are friendly and professional. My elderly kitty was really ill and they ended up keeping her for the weekend for I.V. hydration and observation. I received at least 1 text every day with an update on her care. Every vet, tech, assistant I spoke to commented on her friendliness, soft fur, and cuddliness which tells me they care and we're giving her attention. I would definitely recommend this place for emergency care and would bring my kitty back here again (I hope it doesn't come to that).

  My cat started having breathing problems, so I took him to Delmarva animal emergency hospital. The tech took him back to be examined by the vet. She came back and suggested putting him to sleep. She then presented me with an estimate for services, which was much more than I could afford. I got the impression that this outfit is more concerned with profit than caring for animals. Moreover the tech had a very combative and condescending attitude. She was very off putting. I also got the impression that they employ the B team. Unfortunately my cat passed away. These people seemed completely unconcerned for his welfare. The state should investigate them
