What Is Urgent Veterinary Care?
Urgent care bridges the gap between routine checkups and emergency services. It’s ideal for health concerns that need prompt attention—but aren’t life-threatening.
Common conditions we treat:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Minor wounds or limping
- Skin and ear infections
- Allergic reactions
- Sudden changes in behavior
- Mild breathing difficulties
Early care can prevent complications and help your dog recover sooner.
