Urgent Care When
Our urgent care center is designed for pets who need prompt attention for sudden health issues. Whether your pet is experiencing vomiting, diarrhea, limping, eye or ear infections, buffalo toad complications, bloody urine, wounds, allergic reactions, or other acute symptoms, we are ready to help. We offer same-day availability and skilled care to get your pet on the path to feeling better.
Unlike general wellness visits, urgent care is focused on unexpected illnesses or injuries that are not life-threatening but still require timely medical attention. We’re here to fill the gap between regular veterinary care and 24-hour emergency hospitals, providing expert care in the evenings and weekends.
Think your pet may have ingested a potentially poisonous substance?
Did your pet ingest chocolate, xylitol, or another potentially poisonous substance? Call ASPCA Poison Control or Pet Poison Helpline first. We recommend to bring your pet into our urgent care after they ingest something. Please call before arrival.
