Urgent Care for Pets in Atlanta, GA
At The Village Vets 24-Hour Emergency, urgent care and emergency care are two different things. Emergency care is provided in life-threatening situations, whereas urgent care involves treating health issues that could get worse without timely treatment, but are not life-threatening. But how can you tell if your pet’s situation is urgent? See below for some common, urgent issues our team can treat.
