What to Expect During Your Urgent Care Visit

When you arrive, our veterinary team will assess your pet’s condition and determine the appropriate next steps. Depending on your pet’s needs, we may recommend diagnostic testing, treatment, medication, or additional monitoring.

Because we are a 24/7 emergency animal hospital, patients are seen based on medical urgency rather than arrival time. Pets experiencing life-threatening emergencies are treated first, so wait times may vary.
