Keys Animal Emergency Room

We are the largest veterinary hospital in the Florida Keys, and we treat a wide range of animals. We are an Exotics and Internal Medicine referral hospital with numerous qualified surgeons on staff. All of our doctors volunteer numerous hours to help and treat wildlife in our community.

For the first time in 1968, Keys Animal Hospital opened its doors in Marathon, FL, delivering professional veterinarian, housing, and dentistry services to the neighborhood. We had a responsibility to offer the best care possible to our patients as the area's first free-standing veterinary clinic in over a 100-mile radius in the 1970s. Our mission and commitment to keep that promise haven't altered in over 50 years. Since then, our staff has updated and expanded the practice while being a community pillar, safeguarding and caring for your four-legged family members. Whether you're coming in for emergency treatments or just to have their nails clipped, your dogs are in good hands. Trust us to take care of everything so you can relax.

The Turtle Hospital was founded in 1986 with four main objectives: 1) to rehabilitate injured sea turtles and return them to their natural habitat, 2) to educate the public through outreach programs and visits to local schools, 3) to conduct and assist with sea turtle research (in collaboration with state universities), and 4) to work toward environmental legislation that makes beaches and water safe and clean for sea turtles. Hidden Harbor Marine Environmental Project, Inc., which runs the Turtle Hospital, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Hidden Harbor Motel provides the necessary space and structures for the sea turtles to be housed and cared for. The Turtle Hospital provides public guided educational experiences seven days a week. For further information and bookings, call 305-743-2552.
