Town and Country Animal Hospital is open Monday through Friday, 7am to 8pm, and Saturdays 8am to 5pm. But emergencies don't follow a schedule.
When something goes wrong outside our hours, or when it's serious enough that it can't wait, you need a place that's ready right now. We have that covered.
Meet Columbia Pike Animal Hospital & Emergency Center
Columbia Pike Animal Hospital & Emergency Center is our sister hospital. Same ownership. Same standards of care. Located in Annandale, VA (about 10 minutes from our Fairfax location) and open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
This isn't a referral to a facility we don't know. It's our other hospital. The teams communicate, the ownership is the same, and the level of care you expect from Town and Country carries over.
No Additional Emergency Fee
Columbia Pike Animal Hospital does not charge an additional emergency fee. You pay for the care your pet receives, nothing extra for walking through the door at 2am. That's not how most emergency hospitals work, and it matters when you're already dealing with a stressful situation.
