Understanding the difference between urgent and emergency care can be crucial for your pet’s health. At Small Animal Emergency Hospital of Westfield, our pet urgent care services are designed to handle situations requiring immediate attention but not life-threatening emergencies. This distinction ensures that your pet gets the right level of care at the right time.
Urgent care is intended for conditions that, while not immediately life-threatening, still require attention within 24 hours to prevent further complications or discomfort. Pet emergency care, however, is reserved for life-threatening situations that demand immediate and intensive treatment. Our knowledgeable veterinary team will help determine whether your companion requires pet urgent care or emergency treatment, keeping resources available for pets in critical condition at Small Animal Emergency Hospital of Westfield.
Please call us if you’re unsure whether your pet’s condition qualifies for urgent care. Our trained team can help determine the most appropriate course of action, ensuring your pet receives the care they need without unnecessary delay.
We do not require an appointment when your pet requires urgent care, but we recommend calling ahead. Your call allows us to prepare for your arrival and guide you on any immediate steps you can take at home. However, you are always welcome to bring your pet to us regardless of whether you can call.
By addressing non-emergency conditions promptly, you can help prevent complications for your pet. Contact Small Animal Emergency Hospital of Westfield today if your companion requires pet urgent care. Trust us to provide attentive, effective care for all your pet’s urgent health needs.
