Beacon Emergency Veterinary Hospital

I'm thankful to have a high quality 24/7 ER vet in Riverview. Staff were excellent, including receptionist, nurse, and doctor. Prices were explained before treatment. The location is convenient on 301. Office interior is clean, professional, and smells good. The exam room had a low couch for waiting, which was a thoughtful touch so my dog, who was in pain, was able to get on it and snuggle beside me as we waited. Highly recommend.

When our cat Lucy had a sudden medical emergency, we rushed her in late at night, terrified and hoping for a miracle. Sadly, she did not make it, but I will always be grateful for the incredible care, compassion, and professionalism the entire team showed us during one of the hardest moments for our family. From the moment we arrived, the staff treated Lucy with urgency and kindness, and they kept us informed every step of the way. They explained what was happening, answered our questions with patience, and truly did everything in their power to help her. Even though the outcome wasn’t what we prayed for, I felt she was treated with dignity and love the whole time. What meant even more was the thoughtful follow-up we received the sweetest sympathy card at our home, signed by a staff memb

I don’t even know where to begin. Our family, Kaido, was suffering from a severe urinary blockage and was truly beyond the point of no return. We were facing the kind of moment no pet parent is ever ready for… the possibility of losing someone who is family. From the moment we walked into the ER, the staff didn’t just treat Kaido like a patient…they treated him like he mattered. Like his life was worth fighting for. Their kindness wasn’t clinical. It was human. They spoke to us with compassion during one of the most terrifying moments of our lives. They cared for Kaido with gentleness, urgency, and genuine emotion. You could feel that they wanted him to live. not because it was their job, but because they truly cared. And because of them… he did. They didn’t just stabilize him. The

I have to go to here 3 times and 2 in the last week and every time has been a great experience. I recently had to make the tough decision to say goodbye to my cat, Ruby due to cancer and as hard as it was… the staff really made it as easy as possible. They are very caring and empathetic as well as up front and honest. They even sent me a card after she passed with notes of condolences. They helped my frenchie with pneumonia and he is on the mend! Very thankful to have this emergency hospital so close to home. They are pricey so be careful but I would definitely recommend if you are in a bind and need some place truth worthy.

Very quick and personable service from the staff. They took the time to listen and give suggestions for my sick dog. Ive had 2 experiences with both the Riverview and St Petersburg locations and both are fantastic. They even called the next day to check on my dog. My regular vet doesnt even do that. Being that it's an Emergency Vet, it is spendy $$$ even with the initial visit, but the care and comfort is good. I highly recommend Beacon 😃
