Animal Emergency and Critical Care Hospital San Antonio

 

Our Medical Director, Doctor Manning, has 30 years in Emergency Veterinarian Medicine. He has been trained to perform life-saving interventions for emergency situations and critical illnesses in pets. Doctor Manning is surrounded by a technician staff that is highly trained in caring for patients needing Emergency and Critical Care. 

Night Watch Elite Animal Emergency Clinic is open Wednesday – Monday from 6 pm – 8 am for your Pet Emergency and Critical Care needs. If your pet is experiencing an emergency or needs after-hours care, please call us at 210-455-4559.

Here are some important tips and information for you in order to ensure a smooth visit.

    • Please make sure that you have filled out our PATIENT INFORMATION form before you call us. Once we have your form, we will input your information into our system.  Having this form sent to us before your arrival allows us to get you checked in swiftly upon arrival.
    • We are a partially curbside hospital. Please remain in your vehicle at all times and do not leave the parking lot until you have spoken to a doctor and authorized an estimate and/or treatment plan.
    • As soon as a technician is available, they will go out to your vehicle, obtain history and bring your pet inside.  In times of inclement weather, a technician may call you to obtain history prior to going out to your vehicle.
    • Please be aware that we will see your pet on a first-come, first-serve basis, however more critical patients will be seen first. 
    • For critical situations, we may ask you to sign an Emergency Authorization Form, which authorizes us to perform emergency medical care to stabilize your pet and states your wishes regarding resuscitative measures.
    • We DO have a public restroom available. Please call and let reception know if you need to use our facilities, and they will let you in.
    • All pets should be appropriately leashed or in a carrier prior to handoff to a technician. This is especially important with our feline friends, who may become skittish and try to escape when carried.  If you do not have a cat carrier, please let the receptionist or technician know and we can provide you with a temporary carrier.
    • Any estimate you sign is an agreement to pay up to that amount authorized at time of discharge.  We do not offer in house payment plans, but we do accept care credit and scratch pay.  If you would like more information about care credit or scratch pay, please call us and we will be happy to provide you with information regarding payment options.

Every patient and every client at Night Watch Elite Animal Emergency is extremely important to us.  Night Watch Elite Animal Emergency Hospital will provide the most thorough treatment plan to ensure the best possible care for your pet.  Thank you for entrusting us with the care of your beloved pets.

Common Questions

Will my pet be seen immediately?

In general, patients are seen in the order they arrive. More life-threatening cases, however, must take priority over others.

If you feel your pet’s condition is life-threatening, please notify us immediately, and the doctor will perform an examination without delay. The doctor will contact you personally to discuss findings and arrange a treatment plan. If your pet is in critical condition, you may be asked to sign a release allowing immediate treatment. Unlike a regular veterinary hospital, we cannot “schedule” our appointments.

Please fill out the Patient Information Form before you arrive or when you arrive so we have all the needed information pertaining to your pet.

How is Emergency care different from regular Veterinary care?
Emergency care is available at times when regular veterinary hospitals are not open. As it is impossible for a daytime veterinarian and his or her staff to provide service around the clock, a centralized emergency center allows for intensive after-hours care by a specially trained staff with extensive equipment. Veterinarians referring cases to an emergency center want their clients’ pets to receive the best possible after-hours care. The emergency center, however, cannot replace the historical knowledge and valued relationship you have with your regular family veterinarian. After initial treatment, all follow-up care will be done by your family veterinarian.
How much will emergency treatment cost?

A doctor must perform a thorough physical exam before he or she can determine what treatment, if any, is recommended. Following the exam, you will receive an estimate for the treatment plan that the doctor recommends for your pet. Upon approval, you will be required to leave a deposit in the form of cash, ATM, check, or charge card for the low end of the estimate. Please feel free to ask questions if you do not understand any aspect of the estimate or treatment plan. We want your pet to receive the best possible medical care. We have partnered with Care Credit and Scratch Pay to help you with your Pet’s care.

Can I bring my pet in for routine care?

Our hospital can provide some routine care and vaccinations when your family veterinarian is not available — no appointment is necessary. Please call us for information on vaccination protocols in our facility.

If I leave my pet, when do I pick him/her up?

If the doctor recommends that the pet be hospitalized due to his or her medical condition, you will need to make plans to pick your pet up by 7 AM the next morning for its return home or transfer to your regular veterinarian. If your pet is not picked up by 7 AM we will transfer your pet to a daytime veterinarian for a fee.

As the emergency doctor may be unexpectedly busy, we rely on you to call for periodic progress updates. We will, however, contact you at any hour if your pet’s condition should decline unexpectedly. Please provide us with an accurate phone number that we are able to reach you on in the middle of the night.

What people say about us

I cannot express how grateful I am to have found this place. I took my cat here and he was treated with so much compassion, concern, and love. Dr. Gladman, Ryan, and Dr. Manning listened to every concern I had, and truly went above and beyond to take care of my cat. My cat means everything to me and I’m so thankful to the staff for the time and effort they put into making sure he was taken care of, and for helping me in every way they could. I couldn’t have left my cat in more kinder and capable hands. I’m so appreciative of everything they have done.

Tara R.

This is my go-to for when our normal vet is closed. This is the 2nd time we’ve had to visit here & it was just as great as the 1st time!

From the time I called & spoke to Becca to get advice & realized I was making the right choice to bring my sweet Millie girl in, to Dr. Manning, it was all seamless & great! The tech was patient & listened to me go on about my concerns & kept me posted on timelines. Dr. Manning was amazing & listened to me as well & put my mind at ease that we’d get my girl taken care of & feeling better! Any questions or concerns I had were answered/addressed without judgement!

Night watch Elite will continue to be my go to for my after hours emergencies!

Caitlyn B.

Brought my dog in on a Monday and had an amazing experience. The process was fast and stress free. I filled out the paperwork online in under two minutes and when I arrived they attended to us immediately. Ryan and Dr. Gladman were very caring, patient and transparent about pricing. Truly grateful for their quick and compassionate service.

Sophia K.

My dog Quinn was bitten by a rattlesnake and required emergency care. Night Watch Elite had the best reviews on Google by far, but it was 15 minutes further away than the other emergency veterinary clinics. I wanted to give Quinn the best chance of survival and gambled on the extra time. They took Quinn in and started treating her immediately. The staff was knowledgeable and compassionate. Dr. Gladman listened to my concerns and thoroughly answered all of my questions. The quality of care WE received was 5 stars and sets the standard for veterinary care. Highly recommended!

David E.

This place and its staff are absolutely amazing!! They were very fast getting to me after I arrived, I waited 5 minutes max. I had no doubts about the care my dog was going to receive and when it came to a hard conversation Kelly was very comforting and I truly can’t thank her enough!! Morgan explained everything to me in a way I would understand and was very patient. I truly can’t thank the staff enough for how they treated me and my baby. I can’t recommend this place enough!!

Kaitlynn C.

This place is amazing!!! They saved our sweet puppy Bella last night. Our puppy found some human medicine that was accidentally dropped on the floor. We freaked out and took her in right away. The care and love she received was exceptional. The staff was kind to us and made us feel reassured that our baby was in good hands. This morning we picked up a playful and happy puppy again. I am beyond grateful for Night Watch.

Elisa W.

After experiencing acute onset pain, we had to bring our baby Pete here overnight for some pain relief and answers. We found out through imaging that it was something much more serious. Dr. Manning and his staff did a great job with our baby, managing his pain and sending us home with medications to keep him comfortable which enabled us to spoil him for a few more days before we had to finally say goodbye. Thank you.

Kevin C.

Had to bring our pup in around 10pm tonight and tried to go to two other emergency clinics first, One said they were too busy and another seemed very uncaring and were in no rush. We called a 3rd clinic which referred us to Night Watch. As soon as we called, you could hear the empathy through the phone and were waiting at the door upon our arrival. They treated our lil baby and the price was not excessive at all. Our entire experience has been wonderful and we highly recommend this animal hospital.

Heather P.

We were referred to Night Watch Animal Emergency. Not only did they take care of Zeke promptly, but the staff was beyond friendly and knowledgeable. They broke down every medication prescribed, why and for what it was being prescribed, and were honest with me when it came to his care. I feel like most emergency care offices try to take advantage of our frazzled state because we will do anything to care for our fur babies, but the staff at Night Watch matched my sense of urgency without making me feel worried, and did not recommend any treatment or procedure that they did not feel was required for Zeke. I pray you never have to rush your baby to an emergency vet, but if you do, Night Watch is a place you can trust.
