Understanding the DIfference: Emergency Care vs. Urgent Care

Not all medical situations require the same level of care. Understanding the difference between emergency care and urgent care can help you make informed decisions for your pet.

Urgent Care

Urgent care is appropriate for non-life-threatening medical issues that still require prompt veterinary attention, often within the same day.

If you are unsure whether your pet’s condition is an emergency or urgent, please call us—our team can help determine the best course of action.

Emergency Care

Emergency care is needed for life-threatening or rapidly worsening conditions that require immediate medical attention and cannot safely wait.
