Urgent Care for Pets
Pet Urgent Care for non-life-threatening situations
When your primary veterinarian is unavailable and your pet has a non-life-threatening medical situation that needs to be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible, ACCESS Pet Urgent Care is here to help.
Urgent Care pets with life-threatening conditions may be be referred to our 24×7 Emergency Department. This includes pets who may require surgery, advanced diagnostics, or overnight care. (Note: Our Urgent Care service does not provide vaccinations or routine care.)
