Animal ER of University Park Announces Exciting Move to a New, State-of-the-Art Facility

New 5,000-square-foot building set to open in April 2025

BRADENTON, FL (April 29, 2025) — Animal ER of University Park (AERUP) is thrilled to announce its relocation to a brand-new, cutting-edge facility this spring in April 2025! Their new home, conveniently located right across the street from their current location in University Park, is designed to provide an even higher level of care for beloved pets in their community while maintaining the same compassionate team you know and trust.

The expansive 5,000-square-foot facility has been meticulously designed with both pets and pet owners in mind. New features include:

  • Six spacious exam rooms to accommodate more patients comfortably.
  • Dedicated waiting areas for dogs and cats to create a calm and stress-free environment.
  • A state-of-the-art treatment area with six exam tables for enhanced efficiency.
  • Advanced medical facilities, including an operating room, a special procedures room, and an ICU ward with cutting-edge Snyder oxygen cages.
  • Separate dog and cat wards, two isolation wards, and enclosed outdoor walk areas for dogs and isolation patients.

With this expanded capacity, AERUP is also excited to announce that they will now be open 24/7 for emergency services. This change ensures that pets in need will always have access to high-quality, around-the-clock care, giving pet owners greater peace of mind knowing that help is available at any hour.

“This move represents an exciting new chapter for Animal ER of University Park,” said Caroline McQuillan, Hospital Director at AERUP.  “We are committed to providing exceptional emergency and urgent care, and this new space allows us to expand our capabilities while ensuring a more comfortable experience for pets and their families.”

In addition to their location, AERUP is proud to unveil a fresh new logo and branding that reflects their continued dedication to excellence in veterinary care. While their facility is evolving, their mission remains the same: to provide compassionate, high-quality emergency veterinary services to the University Park community and beyond.
