Pet emergencies can be scary – we’re here to help you handle them.
We understand that seeing your pet sick, hurt or in distress can be stressful – especially if you don’t know what’s wrong. Fortunately, our experienced ER clinicians are prepared to take action and help.
Acting quickly in an emergency may save your pet’s life.
If your pet is experiencing an emergency, you’ll have an entire veterinary team helping them so you can get back to what matters most – spending precious moments together.
Experience makes all the difference.
Our emergency team is made up of veterinarians, vet technicians and assistants, and support staff with rigorous training and experience in specialty medicine. The team works hand in hand to provide the comprehensive, compassionate care your pet needs and deserves. Because we’re a multidisciplinary hospital, the team can consult the expertise of other specialty departments, too.
Dr. Natalie Allers initially worked in a large non-profit practice in the UK, which she found highly rewarding both personally and professionally. She then moved to a mixed general practice and specialty hospital, where her love for veterinary emergency and critical care blossomed.
Dr. Allers moved to the US from England with her wonderful husband in 2020. Their family has grown to now include two perfect kitties, Peach and Wolfie. Despite the distance, family remains as important as ever, and Dr. Allers spends as much time as she can traveling to England to spend time with her loved ones.
Dr. Andy Arnold’s clinical interests include small animal urgent care and emergency, radiology, surgery and strengthening the human-animal bond.
When she’s not working, Dr. DeLong enjoys going to National Parks, bird watching and spending time with dogs, cats and leopard geckos.
Dr. Katie Grzyb has honed her skills in diagnosing and treating both acute and chronic medical conditions to become the medical director of our South Charlotte hospital. Her special interests include critical care and stabilization, soft tissue surgery and the human-animal bond.
Originally from Rhode Island, Dr. Grzyb enjoys laughing with family and friends, spending time near the ocean and serenading others with her karaoke skills. She also considers herself quite a foodie. Her greatest joy is spoiling her high-maintenance tortoiseshell feline, Ruby Sassafrass (Queen of the Household).
Dr. Jordan Morris loves that she can help her community through emergency medicine. Her main areas of interest as an ER doctor include soft tissue surgery, wound management and fostering the human-animal bond.
In her free time, Dr. Morris enjoys spending quality time with her golden retriever, Olive, her family, and her friends. She also enjoys hiking, yoga, wakeboarding, singing, theater and traveling the world.
Dr. Tripp Oliphant is passionate about emergency medicine and has a particular interest in small animal theriogenology. He is dedicated to providing exceptional care to his patients using evidence-based medicine and by prioritizing patient care on a case-by-case basis. He values the human-animal bond and strives to maintain this connection throughout his practice.
We know an unexpected trip to the emergency pet hospital can be stressful, and we want you to be prepared so you have one less thing to worry about. Our entire BluePearl team will be with you every step of the way.
