Boarding
All About Pets
Boarding, daycare and grooming for dogs and cats on the south end of the island, off Arrow Road. Open seven days, which is the part that matters on a holiday week.
Veterinarian
Animal Medical Center West
Day practice on Robert Smalls Parkway. Beaufort has no 24-hour emergency room of its own, and this is one of the practices that refers after-hours cases out to Bluffton, Hardeeville or Savannah.
Veterinarian
Berwick Animal Hospital
Privately owned practice on Ogeechee Road, open since 2009. Wellness, dentistry and surgery for dogs and cats. Weekdays only.
Emergency Vet
BluePearl Pet Hospital (Mount Pleasant)
Emergency and specialty hospital on Johnnie Dodds, open every hour of the year. Referral specialties run alongside the ER, so a case that starts as an emergency can stay in the building.
Veterinarian
Bluffton Veterinary Hospital
Bluffton's long-standing day practice on Scott Way, with same-day urgent slots and Saturday hours. Closed Sundays, when Carolina Veterinary Critical Care up the road takes over.
Emergency Vet
Carolina Veterinary Critical Care
The after-hours clinic Bluffton and Hilton Head vets hand you when they close. A doctor is on staff for the posted hours and a technician is there around the clock. Call first; they triage by phone.
Emergency Vet
Charleston Veterinary Referral Center
West Ashley's 24-hour emergency and specialty hospital, certified Level 1 by the Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society. Note the address: they are on Shelby Ray Court now, not the old Montague Avenue building.
Pet Supply
Dolittle’s (West Ashley)
Family-run since 1993, with natural food, a self-service wash and staff who will actually talk through a diet change with you. Sister stores in Mount Pleasant, Kiawah and Summerville.
Boarding
Georgetown Veterinary Hospital
Full-service practice in Georgetown that also boards dogs and cats in separate quarters and grooms. Half day on Wednesdays.
Pet Supply
Hairy Winston Pet Boutique & Grocery
Mount Pleasant residents have owned this one since 2008. Food, treats and gear plus a self-serve dog wash, at Palmetto Grande. Last bath goes in fifteen minutes before closing.
Boarding
Hipster Hound
Daycare, boarding, grooming, a self-service wash and a small boutique, seven days a week from 7am to 7pm. A second location sits on Diamond Causeway.
Boarding
May River Pet Resort
Dog and cat boarding with grooming on site, off Gibbet Road. Weekend drop-off and pick-up windows are shorter than the weekday ones, which matters if you are flying out of Savannah on a Sunday.
Boarding
Moonshadow Pet Resort
Ten acres on Johns Island with off-leash play, boarding for dogs, cats and small animals, and a grooming shop. Transport can be arranged. The office answers the phone weekday mornings.
Veterinarian
Mount Pleasant Animal Hospital
Neighbourhood practice on Ben Sawyer Boulevard, a short drive from the Sullivan's Island connector. Weekdays only.
Emergency Vet
New River Veterinary Specialists
A 24-hour emergency room with specialists behind it: cardiology, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, internal medicine and surgery under one roof off Argent Boulevard. The closest true round-the-clock ER for Bluffton, Hilton Head and southern Beaufort County.
Emergency Vet
Savannah Veterinary Emergency Clinic
Savannah's around-the-clock emergency hospital, on Stephenson Avenue near Memorial Health. Daytime cases come in on referral from your regular vet. After hours it is walk-in, and they ask that you call while you are on the way so a team is ready.
Emergency Vet
Urgent PetCare of Savannah
Locally owned urgent care on the south side, for the problems that cannot wait for Monday but do not need a critical-care hospital. Evenings and weekends only, so check the hours before you drive.
Emergency Vet
Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) Mount Pleasant
Walk-in emergency care on Highway 17 north, open 24 hours with no appointment. VEG's format keeps owners in the treatment area with their animal rather than in a waiting room.
