Our brand-new Specialty & 24/7 Emergency Hospital

Our 19,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility has been built from the ground-up and is home to our growing team of compassionate specialists, doctors, and support staff.

At Avets, we’re with you every step of the way, offering passionate expertise in emergency and specialty care. Our team of board-certified specialists combine their extensive training with Avets’ cutting-edge equipment to address our patients’ advanced surgical, imaging, and medical needs. For over 25 years, we’ve provided specialty and emergency care to Western Pennsylvania and the tri-state area at our Monroeville, PA location. We’re always here for you—24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Avets is proud to call Pittsburgh Home

Adventure is here in the city of Pittsburgh, and Avets can help you find it. Ranked one of the most desirable areas to live in, Pittsburgh offers a little something for everyone. Whether it’s the entertainment and the arts, the outdoor activities, or the great schools and nationally-recognized sports teams – Pittsburgh is the ideal city to live, work, and play. Located in Monroeville, PA, Avets is just a 25-minute drive into the city.

Our 24-hour emergency and specialty hospital is looking for an ER Veterinarian to join our team. As a long-standing provider of quality emergency and specialty veterinary care, Avets was one of the first 15 hospitals in the country to earn the designation of a VECCS Level 1 emergency and critical care facility. Practicing quality medicine and compassionate care for patients, families, and referring veterinarians in our community is and has remained our focus. We believe that our one-hospital model, which creates an environment where specialists collaborate openly as a team, allows us to best serve the needs of our patients and clients. Our specialists work alongside each other making medical and patient care decisions together.

Personal Points of Interest:
Avets, located in Monroeville, PA, is close to both Pittsburgh’s city neighborhoods and more remote living options. Whether you like to explore historic museums, charming cultural districts, or local breweries, you’ll never be far away from all that our city has to offer. If hiking and spending the day on the river or slopes is more your style, the beautiful Laurel Highlands region offers a wide range of outdoor activities.
