Same Day Care When Your Dog or Cat Needs It Most
When your pet suddenly isn’t acting like themselves — limping, refusing food, breaking out in a rash, or just clearly not okay — you don’t want to wait days for an appointment. Baxter Creek Veterinary Clinic offers same-day urgent care for dogs and cats during our regular business hours, so you can get answers, treatment, and reassurance without the added stress of a long wait.
Our team is equipped to evaluate, diagnose, and treat a wide range of urgent (but non-life-threatening) issues right here in our clinic, with the same calm, attentive approach we bring to every visit.
When to Bring Your Pet in for Urgent Care
Urgent care is the right fit for situations that need prompt attention but aren’t immediately life-threatening. Some of the most common reasons pet owners call us include:
- Vomiting or diarrhea that’s lasted more than 24 hours
- Eye or ear infections
- Sudden limping or lameness
- Noticeable pain, lethargy, or behavior changes
- Allergic reactions or sudden skin irritation
- Minor cuts, wounds, or injuries
If your dog or cat’s condition is severe or potentially life-threatening, we’ll help you connect with a nearby 24-hour emergency hospital that can provide overnight or critical care.
What to Expect During Your Visit
When you arrive, our team will quickly assess your pet’s condition and perform a thorough exam. Because we have an in-house laboratory and imaging technology, we can often run diagnostics and begin treatment during the same visit — saving you the back-and-forth of separate appointments. We’ll walk you through what we find, talk through your options, and make a plan together.
