Company Profile

Animal Emergency and Referral of Minnesota

Company Overview

The Animal Emergency & Referral Center of Minnesota (AERC) was established over 40 years ago by a group of veterinarians who wanted to provide their clients with quality veterinary care during non-business hours. Today, we employ a wide variety of veterinarians, board-certified specialists, and health care team members, all on-hand for when your pet just isn’t feeling like himself. We’re proud to be the only locally-owned emergency and specialty hospital for pets in the state of Minnesota.

Company History

2000: A second location opened, with five full-time veterinarians rotating between both clinics.
2009: AERC expanded to 24-hour operations and hired its first specialist, a criticalist in emergency care.
2010: The hospital relocated to a new building in Oakdale, known as the "Blue Building," and launched an I-131 treatment facility for cat care.
2012: AERC added two more specialists in Internal Medicine and Surgery.
2015: Four additional specialty departments were introduced: Dentistry, Rehabilitation, Cardiology, and Dermatology.
