FAQS

How do I know if my pet should see the Urgent Care service?

Our experienced Urgent Care clinician is highly qualified to provide out-patient care for companion animals that need to be treated right away but are not emergencies. Our convenient Urgent Care hours will provide owners peace of mind, rather than having to worry about their pet’s condition through the night when your veterinarian may not be able to see them.

What if I’m unsure of what service to ask for?

The good news is that the VVC’s Urgent Care Service and Emergency Service operate within the same conveniently located, state-of-the-art facility! Our team of skilled medical professionals will work together to help ensure your pet receives the appropriate level of care.  Important – A patient seen by Urgent Care requiring emergency care will be transferred immediately to the Emergency Service.
