Whats is Urgent Care?
Similar to urgent care for people, we are able to provide treatment that falls between routine exams and emergency care. Essentially, urgent care for pets is whenever you think to yourself, “I think something’s wrong — a vet should take a look at this ASAP.” If you sense your pet is experiencing discomfort, we’d be happy to check things out. Most vets can’t accommodate same-day appointments or walk-ins, but we’re always available right when you need us.
Here’s what to expect during your Urgent Care visit:
Give us a call
We recommend you call us to reduce your wait time and allow our team to collect the necessary information to ensure we can treat your pet. You are welcome to walk-in as well. 805-912-5770
Assessment
A medical team member will escort you and your pet to an exam room to review your pet’s medical history and discuss their current condition. Our doctor will then assess your pet and may perform diagnostics to determine the best treatment plan.
Treatment Plan
The doctor will diagnose your pet and provide a recommended treatment plan. With your consent, our medical team will treat your pet to help them begin their recovery.
Discharge & Recovery
We may send you home with medications and recommended home care for your pet. There also may be a follow-up exam required so we will send the treatment and recovery plan to your primary veterinarian within 24 hours of your visit.
