What Counts as an Urgent Care Visit for Pets?

Urgent care doesn’t always mean an emergency. It simply means your pet needs attention soon, and we’re here to provide it without the ER-level wait times or costs. If you’re unsure whether your pet’s issue can wait, feel free to call and we’ll help you decide.

Common concerns we see for same-day care:

  • Sudden vomiting or diarrhea

  • Lethargy or behavior changes

  • Limping or lameness

  • Eye discharge, redness, or swelling

  • Ear infections or head shaking

  • Minor wounds or lacerations

  • Coughing or sneezing

  • Trouble urinating or blood in urine

  • Toxin ingestion (call ASAP)

  • Allergic reactions or swelling

  • Pain or discomfort that can’t wait

For life-threatening emergencies, such as seizures, severe trauma, collapse, or difficulty breathing, we may recommend going directly to a 24/7 emergency hospital. But for everything in between, we’re fully equipped and ready to help.
