Urgent Care
We have a doctor dedicated to same-day appointments Monday through Friday. Urgent care is by appointment only. If you would like to schedule an urgent care visit, please give our team a call.
Pets can be unpredictable, and you can’t plan for unexpected illness or injury. We understand that having a sick pet can be stressful, and you want them to feel better as soon as possible without a long wait at the emergency hospital. That’s where our urgent care services come in.
If your pet is experiencing an urgent medical concern, please call.

While we understand you may not always be in a position to call in advance, if you are able to do so it will help our staff be prepared for your pet’s arrival so he or she gets much-needed medical care that much sooner.

Urgent Care FAQs
What if my pet ate something poisonous?
In the event that your pet ingests something toxic, please contact us immediately or, if it is after business hours, reach out to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center’s 24-hour hotline at (888) 426-4435. Trained toxicologists will assess the situation based on your pet’s age, health, and what was ingested, and provide recommendations on the necessary action to take.
