Urgent Vet Care

Not every situation calls for an emergency room, but some issues can’t wait for a regular appointment. Our urgent care team provides same-day veterinary care for pets experiencing discomfort, pain, or behavioral changes that shouldn’t be ignored. We’re open 24/7 and equipped with in-house diagnostics, meaning we can quickly assess, treat, and get your pet on the road to recovery.

What to Expect

We understand how stressful it can be when your pet isn’t feeling well. That’s why we focus on fast, compassionate care and clear communication every step of the way. Whether your pet has an ear infection, upset stomach, or minor injury, our team will assess their condition, recommend diagnostics if needed, and begin treatment right away. We’re open 24/7, so we’re here for late-night worries year-round.
 
To help us prepare and reduce your wait time, please call ahead. Please also note that because we are an emergency animal hospital, we triage patients based on urgency, meaning pets experiencing life-threatening emergencies are treated first. For non-critical concerns, there may be a brief wait while our team prioritizes the most serious cases.

Conditions We Treat

In addition to our emergency care services, we treat the following urgent concerns:

Digestive

Digestive Upset

Vomiting, diarrhea, or a sudden loss of appetite can be early signs of infection, dietary issues, or something more serious. We’ll pinpoint the cause quickly and help your pet feel more comfortable.

Minor 11

Injuries or Wounds

Limping, sprains, or cuts can interfere with your pet’s daily routine. Early care helps prevent pain from escalating or infection from setting in.

Ears

Ear Infections

Head shaking, scratching at the ears, or foul-smelling discharge often point to an infection that can quickly become painful or spread deeper into the ear canal.

Dog

Lethargy or Weakness

If your pet seems unusually tired, slow to move, or uninterested in normal activities, it could be the first sign of illness or pain.

Cough

Persistent Cough

A frequent or lingering cough that affects your pet’s normal activity, appetite, or rest may need urgent attention. We’ll examine them and determine the best course of care.

Cat

Urinary Problems

Straining to urinate or frequent attempts without success may signal a UTI or urinary blockage—especially urgent in male cats.

FAQs

Yes, when possible, we strongly recommend calling ahead. This allows our team to prepare for your pet’s arrival, prioritize care appropriately, and help ensure a smoother experience once you walk through the door.
