Urgent Veterinary Care in Verona, VA

Same-Day Urgent Vet Care for Pets

Not every health concern is an emergency—but that doesn’t mean it should wait. At Veterinary Emergency Services in Verona, VA, we provide same-day urgent veterinary care for dogs, cats, and select exotic pets experiencing illness, discomfort, or minor injuries.

From vomiting and ear infections to limping or behavioral changes, our team can quickly assess your pet’s condition and begin treatment. With 24/7 availability and in-house diagnostics, we’re here when your pet needs care sooner—not later.

What to Expect During an Urgent Care Visit

When your pet isn’t feeling well, quick answers matter. Our team focuses on fast, compassionate care and clear communication at every step.

During your visit, we will:

  • Evaluate your pet’s symptoms
  • Recommend diagnostics if needed
  • Begin treatment right away

 
Because we are also a 24/7 emergency hospital, patients are triaged by medical urgency. Pets with life-threatening conditions are treated first, which may result in a short wait for non-critical concerns. To help us prepare and reduce your wait time, please call ahead.

Urgent Care Conditions We Treat

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

Digestive

Digestive Issues

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

Minor Injuries & 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

Coughing or Respiratory Issues

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.
