What Is Pet Urgent Care?
As with humans, pets can sometimes have health issues or injuries that aren’t quite severe enough to require an emergency pet hospital but also not mild enough that they can wait until an appointment is available at your typical veterinary practice. In these situations, your vet may refer you to an urgent pet care clinic so that your pet can be seen in the same day as the health issue or injury has started. Since delaying care can make a treatable issue get worse, we recommend following your vet’s orders and your instincts as a pet owner. If your pet has sudden changes in eating, sleeping, temperament, or an injury that doesn’t seem to have caused bleeding and broken bones, an urgent pet care center like ours might be ideal.
