Pet Urgent Care

Prompt pet care for non-emergency situations.
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.
Pet Urgent Care vs Emergency Care
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.
When To Consider Urgent Care
-
Minor Cuts and Wounds:
Injuries that do not involve major bleeding or deep lacerations. -
Mild to Moderate Vomiting or Diarrhea:
Repeated episodes that are concerning but not accompanied by severe symptoms like blood. -
Skin Rashes and Infections:
Symptoms that are uncomfortable for your pet and need quick treatment to prevent worsening. -
Eye or Ear Infections:
Issues that should be addressed promptly to avoid discomfort or long-term damage. -
Limping or Minor Sprains:
Sudden limping or limb pain that does not involve severe trauma or bone fractures.
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.
No Vet Appointment Necessary
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.
