“Expert, Local After-Hours Veterinary Care”

PETS AFTER DARK™ is the after-hours veterinary tele-health service that immediately connects you to your regular veterinarian or a local vet who knows them. If you have an after-hours issue you believe requires immediate attention, call us. And if you have a less important issue or question you want to answer to, call us for that as well.

We care for dogs, cats, avian pets and reptiles, too!

Choose from among the three easy ways to connect. Unlike other veterinary tele-health services, you and your regular vet will receive a consultation summary report after every call. Currently serving Greater Pittsburgh. Coming soon to a city near you!

I am so pleased to announce Pets After
Dark is here. I have been practicing
veterinary medicine for thirty years. Over
twenty have been at one of the
preeminent private practices in
Pittsburgh. Before that I had my own
practice in Montreal, where I am from. I
also spent three years in Emergency
Medicine. So much has changed since I
started practicing.
