Vet Hospital lists its address as 18 Carthage Drive, Rochester, NY 14621. The block sits in northern Rochester between downtown and the Lake Ontario shoreline, in a residential-and-small-commercial corridor. A vet hospital in this part of Rochester serves the dense Monroe County residential population alongside the more spread-out Lake Ontario lakeshore households.
The Rochester emergency vet pattern
Rochester’s emergency vet caseload is shaped by lake-effect winter conditions and the Genesee River corridor. Winter cases skew toward hypothermia in escaped pets, salt-related paw injuries, and antifreeze ingestion. Summer cases include tick-borne disease evaluation, wildlife encounters (skunks, raccoons), and water-related incidents near the lakeshore.
Lake-effect winter and emergency timing
Severe lake-effect snow can affect emergency-vet travel times in Monroe County. Pet owners should know the route to the nearest emergency vet in advance and have a winter-driving plan; calling ahead during a major snow event lets the clinic confirm whether to expect arrival and prep for arrival condition (cold-stressed pet, longer warming protocol).
Calling for emergency intake
The listed number is +1 585-XXX-XXXX. The first call should describe the symptoms, the pet’s species and weight, and current condition during transport. For winter incidents, mention any time the pet spent outdoors during cold conditions so the clinic can prep warming equipment.
Getting to 18 Carthage Drive
The address is accessible by car via I-104 (the Veterans Memorial Bridge corridor) or NY-104. Most clients arrive by personal vehicle given Rochester’s geography. On-site parking is available adjacent to the building.
