As pet parents, we cherish the unconditional love and companionship our furry friends provide. But just like humans, pets can experience sudden health issues that require immediate attention. At Caring Hands Animal Hospital, we understand how crucial it is to offer urgent care services, especially during those times when your regular veterinarian may not be available. That’s why we’re proud to provide limited evening urgent care hours to ensure your pets get the care they need when it’s most critical.

What Is Urgent Care for Pets?

Urgent care bridges the gap between routine veterinary care and emergency services. It’s designed for situations that can’t wait for a regular appointment but aren’t severe enough to warrant a visit to a 24-hour emergency hospital. Examples of conditions that may require urgent care include:

  • Minor wounds or lacerations
  • Vomiting or diarrhea lasting more than a few hours
  • Persistent coughing or difficulty breathing
  • Sudden limping or inability to bear weight on a limb
  • Allergic reactions, such as swelling or hives
  • Eye redness or discharge

Why Is Urgent Care Important?

Timely medical attention can make a significant difference in your pet’s health and comfort. Addressing issues early can prevent them from escalating into more severe problems, saving you time, stress, and expense in the long run. Urgent care also provides peace of mind, knowing your pet’s needs will be met promptly by skilled professionals.

We recognize that pet health issues don’t always happen during regular office hours. That’s why we’ve implemented limited evening urgent care hours to better serve you and your pets.
