at Tier 1 Veterinary Medical Center
Prompt, Effective Care When Your Pet Needs It Most
At Tier 1 Veterinary Medical Center, we understand that not all pet emergencies require a trip to the ER, but they do need immediate attention. Our Urgent Care services are designed to fill the gap between regular veterinary visits and emergency situations, providing swift and comprehensive care when your pet needs it quickly.
What is Urgent Care for Pets?
Urgent Care for pets is intended to address non-life-threatening conditions that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment. This includes situations like minor injuries, acute illness symptoms, or complications from chronic diseases that suddenly worsen but do not pose an immediate threat to your pet's life.
Common Conditions Treated in Urgent Care
- Mild to moderate vomiting or diarrhea
- Minor wounds or injuries such as cuts or limping
- Skin infections or rashes
- Eye or ear infections
- Urinary tract infections
- Coughing and sneezing
- Fevers without severe symptoms
