Urgent and Emergency Care, Every Day Until 10 PM
Hours at VSP Louisville
Specialty Care by Appointment at VSP Louisville
VSP is home to the largest veterinary cancer center in Kentucky, offering medical oncology and chemotherapy for dogs and cats. We are also the only provider of I-131 radioactive iodine therapy for hyperthyroid cats in Kentucky, and the only practice in the state that treats hyperparathyroidism in dogs with ethanol ablation.
Our specialty team covers internal medicine, cardiology, neurology, surgery, interventional radiology and urinary stone management, and we offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy. VSP was the first of three practices in the United States to get a thulium laser. Advanced imaging, including CT, fluoroscopy, ultrasound and digital radiographs, helps us find answers here instead of sending you somewhere else.
You don't need a referral to book a specialty visit, although we're always glad to work with your family veterinarian and keep them in the loop.

Parking and Arriving
Park in our lot. If your pet can't walk, is too heavy to carry or you just need a hand, call us from the car at (502) 901-7990 and a team member will come out to help bring your pet in. Once you're inside, let the front desk know you've arrived or that you checked in online. Please keep dogs on a short leash and cats in a carrier, since there may be other nervous pets in the lobby.
What to Bring
A few things help us move faster. Bring any medications your pet takes, or a photo of the labels. If your pet ate something it shouldn't have, bring the package, wrapper or a piece of the plant. Recent records or test results from your family veterinarian are helpful, and if you don't have them, just give us your vet's name and we'll ask for them. For a specialty appointment, bring a list of your questions and any imaging or lab reports you've been given.
