Looking for urgent after hours care for your dog, cat, bunny, snake, bird, etc.? Let the experienced staff at After Hours Veterinary Emergency Clinic of Fairbanks be the one you call. Injured or sick animals need care on nights and weekends and that is why Dr. Rodgers is committed to serving these needs in our Interior Alaskan community.
Specialty Pet Care
Our clinic is fully equipped to handle trauma cases and provide immediate care for emergency situations.
Emergency Surgery
We offer after-hours urgent care services for pets in critical need of medical attention.
Physical Exams
We evaluate your pet for abnormalities. After, we formulate an estimate on the best course of action to get your pet feeling better.
Radiology
Receive faster, more accurate care with X-Rays of your pet.
Anesthesia
Whether it’s for minor surgical repair or major abdominal or thoracic surgery, our highly trained staff is very knowledgeable in anesthesia and pain management. We aim to provide the most comfortable and pain-free experience for your pet, before, during, and after surgery.
Lab Testing
​
In House Blood and Urine Testing
Our on-site laboratory machines need very little blood for full diagnostic panels and provide results within 20 minutes to help pinpoint what is happening with your pet. This efficient system gives us the information to provide life-saving treatment very quickly.
Hospitalization and Critical Care
It may be that your pet is sick enough that they need to stay in the hospital for overnight or weekend care. We have very comfortable kennel setups with the veterinary nurses watching over your pet the entire time they're in our care. We are fully equipped to provide whatever level of care your pet may need, including fluid therapy, oxygen therapy, pain management, and (last but not least) the same love and care they receive at home.
In some cases, it may be that your pet needs care continued from your primary veterinarian and needs to spend the night in our hospital. In these cases, your pet is transported from your veterinarian to our hospital and then picked up the next morning for transport back to your veterinarian.
Euthanasia
One of the most difficult times as a pet owner is when you have to say goodbye to your best friend. We have a compassionate team that is here to counsel you through this difficult time and provide humane euthanasia to your pet. We do our best to provide you with the comfort and privacy that is so important during this difficult time.
Fluid Therapy
One of the most common services we perform here is re-hydration. After a physical exam and diagnostics are performed, the veterinarian will determine if your pet needs to be treated with intravenous fluids (inpatient) or subcutaneous fluids (outpatient). Most of the time rehydration is the most important and best life-saving treatment we can do, and we are equipped with all the necessary tools to get your pet back to a normal hydration status.
Toxicity Treatment
Sometimes our pets eat or get into things that are harmful. We are ready and willing to deal with any toxicity. In some cases, the expert veterinary toxicologists at Animal Poison Control Center will need to be consulted and we work one-on-one with their staff to make sure your pet is being treated accordingly. Some toxicities are less common than others and we want to make sure we are getting the most up-to-date information and treatment recommendations from this great team of experts.
In an Emergency
In the case of an emergency, phone your regular veterinarian. If he or she is unavailable, call the After Hours Veterinary Emergency Clinic in Fairbanks. Our staff will help you decide the best method for addressing the situation.

What to Do in an Emergency:

What Our Pet Owners Say
- Julia C.
My client’s Huskies got into a porcupine and they got them in quickly and got to work. They gave an estimate before they got started which was good because it was not a surprise bill or anything. They were very efficient in the treatment and procedures for the dogs. I am happy with how everything worked out that day after walking into work and seeing such a horrible sight and 2 hurting dogs.
