What Is Urgent Care for Pets?
Animal urgent care occupies a middle ground between a traditional primary-care veterinary clinic and a 24/7 emergency hospital. It bridges the gap: your regular veterinarian may not have an opening for several days, but not every sick or injured pet needs a full emergency hospital either. Many problems are concerning and time-sensitive without being life-threatening — those are the cases we're built for.
We're open 2pm to 10pm Monday through Friday, and 10am to 6pm Saturday and Sunday.
These are a few of the problems we see most often:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Itching, hot spots, or hives
- Ear infections or head shaking
- Minor cuts, wounds, or limping
- Squinting, eye redness, or discharge
- Changes in urination
- Coughing or sneezing
- Fever or lethargy
