Urgent Vet vs. Emergency Vets: What’s the Difference?
It’s not always easy to tell whether your pet needs urgent or emergency care—but we’re here to help you navigate that uncertainty.
What’s Considered Pet Urgent Care
Urgent situations require prompt attention, but they’re not necessarily life-threatening. These issues are often painful or uncomfortable for your pet and should be addressed the same day if possible. Examples include:
- Vomiting or diarrhea (without blood)
- Limping or minor injuries
- Eye discharge or swelling
- Ear infections
- Skin rashes, hot spots, or allergic reactions
- Decreased appetite or energy
- Mild coughing or sneezing
