Urgent Care for Dogs in Auburn-Opelika, AL
When your dog is sick or injured, waiting for an appointment isn't always an option. Paws on the Plains Animal Urgent Care provides same-day urgent care for dogs when something comes up that can't wait for your regular veterinarian, but doesn't require a 24-hour emergency hospital. Our team evaluates your dog promptly, treats what we find, and takes the time to make sure you understand their condition and the recommended next steps.
Appointments are same-day only, so please call us at Telephone Coming Soon! to check availability before coming in.
