Communication & Collaboration
Working Together for the Best Patient Care
At Animal Emergency Hospital DeLand, we’re here to complement the care provided by primary care veterinarians. We focus exclusively on emergency and critical cases—we do not offer routine or wellness services—and we make sure clients understand the importance of maintaining a relationship with their regular veterinarian.
To support continuity of care, we ask clients to list their primary vet on the intake form so we can send a full discharge summary via fax or email. Every patient we treat has a detailed medical record, and we always recommend clients follow up with their family vet after their emergency visit.
By staying connected with local veterinary practices, we help ensure pets receive well-coordinated care and better health outcomes.
