Eastern Carolina Veterinary Referral
For Pet Owners
Referral Support
At Eastern Carolina Veterinary Referral, we understand that visiting the vet—especially in an emergency—can be a stressful experience. Our compassionate team is here to support you and your pet every step of the way with expert care, clear communication, and kindness.
As Wilmington’s only 24/7 emergency veterinary hospital, we’re always here when you need us—day or night, weekends, and holidays included. With advanced technology and a collaborative team of specialists, your pet is in trusted hands.
Before You Arrive
We know emergencies can happen at any time. If your primary veterinarian is unavailable, you can rely on us—no appointment is needed for emergency services. However, a call ahead to (910) 790-1070 is appreciated so our team can prepare for your arrival and ensure prompt attention.
If your pet is coming for specialty care, a referral from your family veterinarian is required. Our team works hard to make each visit as comfortable as possible—for both you and your pet. From the moment you walk through our doors, we’ll be focused on delivering thoughtful, expert care tailored to your pet’s specific needs.
