What’s the Difference Between Emergency and Urgent Care?
There are emergencies, and then there are urgent cases that may not be as severe as emergencies, but are no less deserving of medical attention.
If your pet has a problem that is not life-threatening but still needs to be addressed before it gets worse, we can provide urgent care. Urgent care situations might include shallow lacerations, minor burns, intestinal parasites, lameness, and issues of the skin and nails.
