Our Veterinarians’ Process for Urgent Care Visits

Our commitment to offering quality care when your pet needs it most is reflected in our urgent pet care services. When your companion has an urgent health need, call our office, and we’ll calmly discuss the situation surrounding your pet’s well-being. We’ll ask questions regarding any trauma they have experienced, the symptoms they’re exhibiting, and your concerns to determine the severity of their situation and schedule an urgent care appointment. We strive to provide same-day appointments whenever possible to get your pet out of pain. If your pet requires emergency services, we’ll refer you to an emergency clinic.

Once you arrive, we’ll provide a thorough nose-to-tail examination to assess the full problem. We may run labs and perform x-rays, an ultrasound, or a cytology to correctly diagnose and treat your cat or dog’s health issue. Our team crafts a treatment plan tailored to your pet’s unique needs, including their recovery. We’ll give you helpful tips and instructions to empower you to help your pet through their recuperation.
