We treat dogs facing a wide variety of urgent health issues, such as skin problems, urinary symptoms, vomiting, bite injuries, eye concerns, diarrhea, limping, ear infections, and wounds.

Whether your dog swallowed something they shouldn't have or you're noticing shaking, lethargy, or any symptom that has you concerned, come see us that same day.
Many of the urgent concerns we see in cats overlap with what we treat in dogs — skin and allergy symptoms, bite injuries, vomiting, eye problems, diarrhea, wounds, and urinary trouble.

Because cats tend to hide discomfort well, calling ahead when you can helps our team triage your cat's situation before you arrive.
Our team manages a wide range of urgent and sick visits, including pets who've swallowed toxins or foreign objects, respiratory issues, and insect or snake bites.

In these cases, come in right away or give us a call so we can prepare ahead of your visit. If the situation is severe or life-threatening, please go straight to an emergency animal hospital.
