Animal Emergency Clinic of the High Country

24/7 Emergency Veterinary Clinic Serving the High Country of North Carolina
(218)

The Animal Emergency Clinic of the High Country, PLLC was established by Dr. David Linzey and his wife, Debi, in 2005. Our goal has remained the same: providing quality after-hours emergency veterinary care to the residents of the North Carolina High Country and surrounding areas. Until that time, local veterinarians participated in a rotational schedule where different doctors were on-call various different nights and weekends. The opening of our practice provided a service to area pet owners not previously available: highly-trained and skilled veterinarians and technicians whose sole responsibility and focus is to provide emergency care for sick and injured pets until their regular veterinarian can take over care at the appropriate time.

🐾 Happy Veterinary Technician Week! 🐾

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible work of Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs) — the unsung heroes of animal healthcare! 🩺🐶🐱
At the Animal Emergency Clinic of the High Country, our RVTs are a vital part of the team, providing expert medical care, compassionate support, and critical assistance during emergencies. From monitoring anesthesia to performing lab tests, administering treatments, and comforting worried pet parents, RVTs do it all - often behind the scenes, but always at the heart of the clinic.

Please join us in giving a HUGE thank you to our exceptional RVTs:
💙 Elizabeth
💙 Marie
💙 Morgan

Your dedication, skill, and compassion make a life-saving difference every day — for pets and their people. We are so grateful for everything you do!

Open flames pose a serious risk to pets. 🔥 A curious cat can easily knock over a candle, and a playful dog may not realize the danger of running near a campfire. To keep everyone safe, always create a secure barrier between pets and fire.

🐾 Puppy Love & Puppy Care Tips! 🐾

Look at this adorable pup getting lots of love from our team! 💙 At the Animal Emergency Clinic of the High Country, we’re always here when your puppy needs emergency care - especially after hours. But remember, it’s important to establish care with a primary vet as soon as possible to ensure your puppy gets consistent, comprehensive care throughout their life.

Here are some key puppy care tips to keep in mind:
💉Vaccinations: Get your puppy vaccinated early to protect them from preventable diseases.
🦠Parasite Prevention: Keep your pup protected with regular treatments for fleas, ticks, and worms.
💬Training & Socialization: Start training and socializing early to build a well-behaved and confident dog.
⚕️Routine Vet Care: Establishing care with a primary vet ensures ongoing health monitoring, and we’re here when your regular vet is closed!
🍽️Nutrition: Provide a balanced diet that meets your puppy’s growing needs.

We’re here 24/7 for emergencies and when your primary vet is unavailable. 🐶💚
