Yes, our pets are members of our families and being faced with end of life and aftercare decisions can be upsetting and overwhelming. During this difficult time, our Veterinary Urgent Care teams are here for you. We offer end-of-life assessments and euthanasia, as well as arrangements for cremation.

Deciding where to bring your pet can be tricky. If your pet is experiencing trauma (difficulty breathing, collapse, hit by car, seizures, paralysis, snake bite, toxin ingestion), you should go straight to an emergency veterinary hospital. If your pet is stable but should be seen promptly, urgent care is a better option. When in doubt, call your nearest Veterinary Urgent Care or emergency hospital. Check out our list of what we can and can’t treat.

We do not see regular health check-ups or administer any vaccines or heartworm tests. We can perform diagnostics and treatments such as de-worming, parasite testing, and lab work. Your pet should continue to have regular wellness exams with your family veterinarian.

We provide urgent care for dogs and cats. At this time, we are unable to provide care for exotic pets (birds, reptiles, pocket pets, barnyard animals).

The short answer is no; however we recommend making an appointment to save you and your pet time, and reduce stress. Walk-ins are welcome and will be seen in our first available time-slot. If we are fully booked, you will experience unfortunately experience longer wait times. We are always much busier on weekends. Our appointment scheduler is easy to use, but if you prefer, you can also call to check for available appointment times.

Yes, our clinics accept all forms of pet insurance and will help by sending requested documents related to your pet’s care. Payment for services are due up front and your insurance company will reimburse you based on the policy you have selected with them.
