What to Expect
1Save your spot online
Let us know you’re coming by picking an arrival time online, or just walk in.
2Be shown to a private room immediately
We will immediately triage your pet and escort you to a private room so you aren’t waiting in the lobby.
3Approve the treatment plan
The vet examines your pet, explains what is going on, and you approve every line before we start.
4Stay by your pet’s side
At UrgentPaws, there is no mystery door. We don’t “take your pet to the back” without inviting you to be by their side.
5Leave with a clear recovery plan
You’ll leave with a written plan, and we’ll send the records to your regular vet.
Questions before you visit
Do I need to save my spot?
No – walk-ins are always welcome. Save My Spot lets you pick an arrival time online, so we know you are coming and can be ready for your pet. We assess every pet on arrival and see the most critical patients first, so timing can shift if a sicker pet comes in.
Is UrgentPaws an emergency vet?
We are an after hours veterinary urgent care and treat emergencies that are not life-threatening. This includes vomiting, limping, cuts, ear and eye trouble, skin, urinary problems, and more. For life-threatening emergencies, contact your nearest 24-hour ER.
How much does a visit cost?
Each visit includes an office exam fee, which covers triage and a physical exam and is significantly less than visiting the ER. Our doctor will develop a specific treatment plan to get your pet feeling better. Before any diagnostics or treatment, we will walk you through a written estimate, and you approve anything before we proceed.
Can you run tests and X-rays on site?
Yes – we run bloodwork, urine and fecal testing, X-rays and ultrasound in the clinic, and we give fluids, injections, wound care and medications on the spot, so most problems are diagnosed and treated in one visit.
Can I stay with my pet?
Yes! Our clinic is open to you, including the treatment room. We want you to be as involved in the visit as you would like. In most instances, we find our patients do much better when they are next to their owners. In rare cases, you pet may be better on their own (e.g. they are trying to protect you) and we may ask you to give them some space to ensure they receive the best possible care. In these situations, we will communicate everything to you beforehand.
Do you take pet insurance or offer financing?
Yes – we make it easy to pay for the care your pet needs. We accept all major pet insurance plans on a reimbursement basis: you pay at the time of visit, and we’ll provide an itemized invoice and any medical records your insurer needs to process your claim.
We also offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry. Both let you apply in minutes from your phone right in our clinic, so you can find out what you qualify for before treatment begins.
What pets do you treat?
We treat dogs and cats. Some of our veterinarians also see exotics such as rabbits, snakes, turtles and lizards. Call the clinic first and we will confirm that the vet on shift can treat your pet.
