Appointment Scheduling
Urgent Care appointments are not appointments in the traditional sense, but will reserve your pet’s place in order to see the doctor. Due to the nature of urgent care, appointment times are subject to change if another, life-threatening, case comes into the hospital during your scheduled time.
Payment
We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, checks, and Care Credit. Please Note: Urgent care visits incur a higher fee than traditional appointments because urgent cases require immediate attention, specialized medical resources, and dedicated staff to ensure your pet receives prompt, high-quality care. If you need a payment plan, we partner with Care Credit and Scratch Pay, both can be applied for online before arriving.
Tests & Diagnostics
During your pet’s visit, we provide the highest-quality care and attention. All hospitalized patients are kept in a specialized treatment area where they are closely monitored.
Our vet team is skilled in offering surgical, diagnostic, and medical care while working with compassion and efficiency to best assist your pet.
We offer the latest diagnostics and testing for our emergency need patients at our urgent care veterinary clinic, including:
- Blood Analysis. A blood analysis can help us determine what is wrong with your dog or cat if they are experiencing an unknown illness or have ingested a toxic substance.
- X-rays. X-rays help us determine what kind of internal injuries your pet might be experiencing after a fight or accident involving a car.
- Surgery. Sometimes pets need to be brought into surgery to repair internal injuries.
- Fracture Repair. We set broken bones / fractures for animals to help them heal quickly and properly. Your pet’s veterinarian will also help relieve your pet’s pain during the healing process.
- Medication. Medicines may be necessary to help your pet recover from a medical emergency or illness. We keep a range of pet medication on hand to ensure that your pet’s needs are covered.

Pets experiencing a life-threatening injury or illness need to be seen at an emergency veterinary hospital. Here, patients will be prioritized and seen based on their condition’s severity. Animals experiencing a time sensitive emergency like cardiac arrest will be seen first. Pets with emergent yet less time-sensitive emergencies will be seen next. This group could apply to situations like allergic reactions.
