About this hospital

The Pet Emergency Room, Miami

The Pet Emergency Room is an Animal Hospital in Miami, FL, located at 6394 S Dixie Hwy, South Miami. Public listings indicate it is open late, with hours showing it closes at 12 AM, and it provides an emergency-focused point of contact at (305) 666-4142.

Miami emergency vet context

In Miami, emergency veterinary demand can rise quickly after work hours and during weekends, when injuries from traffic, heat stress, or sudden illness can’t wait for a next-day appointment. Pet owners often look for an Animal Hospital that can assess a patient on short notice, guide next steps, and keep cases from worsening while they wait for treatment. Searchers may also be balancing travel time and the urgency of symptoms.

The Pet Emergency network here

When a location is affiliated with a Pet Emergency network, it typically means the hospital follows network-aligned intake and patient flow—how calls are triaged, how urgent cases are prioritized, and how records are handled for continuity. In some situations, network patterns can also affect referral communication if specialty or additional diagnostics are needed. For a Miami pet owner comparing options, choosing an affiliated site may offer a more standardized way to route urgent cases than a non-network emergency provider.

general animal hospital scope

As a general animal hospital, The Pet Emergency Room is positioned to handle a broader mix of veterinary needs than an emergency-only clinic. In many cases, that can include initial evaluation, common urgent diagnostics, symptom-focused treatment, and minor procedures that can be managed in-house depending on staffing and case needs. This is different from emergency-only facilities that may be set up primarily for after-hours stabilization and rapid transfer to specialty services.

about the reviewer base

With a public rating of 3.5 across 361 reviews, there is enough review volume for a reader to spot patterns across different visits and situations. The count can be helpful when you’re trying to make a decision under stress—travelers and local pet owners can compare experiences without relying on a small handful of posts. Still, review text can vary by what happened that day, so call to confirm the current plan for your pet.

pre-visit checklist OR practical notes

Before you head over, call The Pet Emergency Room at (305) 666-4142 to confirm they’re open and to share a quick summary of symptoms, age, and any known exposures. Bring any prior records you have—medication lists, vaccine history, or recent lab results—so intake can be faster. If you can, be ready to discuss payment options at admission, since emergency visits often involve time-sensitive diagnostics and treatment.
