FAQ

Should I call before coming in for an urgent care visit?

Yes, always! Please call us at (540) 955-2171 before heading to the clinic. This allows our clinical team to triage your pet’s symptoms over the phone, advise you on how to safely transport them, and ensure we have the appropriate staff and equipment prepared for your immediate arrival.

What is the difference between urgent care and an emergency hospital?

Urgent care is ideal for conditions that require rapid medical attention but are not immediately life-threatening. A 24/7 emergency hospital is necessary for highly critical events (like severe trauma, active seizures, or acute respiratory distress) or situations that require overnight hospitalization and continuous monitoring.

What should I do if my pet has a medical emergency after hours?

If your pet experiences a medical emergency outside of our standard operating hours, we strongly advise you to seek immediate care at the nearest 24-hour veterinary emergency hospital.

My pet ate something they shouldn't have. What should I do?

Call us immediately. If you know what your pet ingested, please bring the packaging or the remainder of the item with you. Do not attempt to induce vomiting at home unless explicitly instructed to do so by a veterinarian, as some substances can cause severe damage on the way back up.
