CLEARWATER, FL — A new level of veterinary ER and specialty care is now available in Clearwater.

Locally owned and operated Clearwater Animal Referral and Emergency had a soft opening on
Feb. 18 but, due to the coronavirus outbreak, the pet ER had to cancel its grand opening and briefly close the hospital.

However, it reopened on April 1 and is available to serve Clearwater's emergency pet needs.

Focused on trusted values and modern amenities, owner Dr. Kris Painter saw a need for a new facility in the area to care for the community’s furry family members.

“CARE focuses on the values we all grew up with. This includes trust, honesty and transparency," said Painter. "We will treat you and your pet the same way we treat our own families.”

Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, CARE is an extension of your veterinarian’s practice for
emergency and specialty care and is not a facility intended to replace routine veterinary visits.

Current services include:

  • 24/7 Emergency Care

  • Internal Medicine

  • Surgery

  • Cardiology

  • Imaging

  • Pet Ambulance

  • Cytology

CARE is located at 19919 U.S. 19 N. in Clearwater, just a few doors down from Costco Wholesale. For more information, call 727-705-2000 or visit the website.
