*Practice Overview *

Clarity Animal Hospital is Billings’ _only_ locally owned emergency veterinary hospital and was opened in January 2025 by Dr. Kayla Erickson. Dr. Erickson is a 2015 Washington State University graduate and Billings native that has devoted her entire career to emergency medicine and critical care.

Clarity Animal Hospital was built with the mission of providing superior patient care and to provide a calm, safe environment for pets and clients, and to create a positive culture for all employees to work in. We are currently open from 7:00am Friday to 7:00pm on Monday, with plans to expand to 24/7 within the next 6 months.
