Urgent Care Veterinarian & Same-Day Appointments in Denver, CO

Life with pets can be unpredictable, and when something feels off, waiting days for an appointment simply isn’t an option. That’s why Platt Park Veterinary Hospital proudly offers same-day appointments and urgent care services during our regular business hours, so you can get answers (and peace of mind) when it matters most.

Our hospital is thoughtfully structured to include a dedicated urgent care doctor every day, so we can accommodate your pet’s needs without trying to fit in sick patients around scheduled wellness and surgery appointments. Whether your dog woke up with a limp or your cat suddenly isn’t eating, you can count on us to make space, make time, and make your pet a top priority.

Need help now? Give us a call at (303) 879-1090 and we’ll do our best to see them promptly.

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.
