Our Mission

At Urgent Paws, our mission is to deliver swift and effective care for your pets, addressing non-life-threatening conditions with the utmost professionalism and compassion. We strive to enhance the well-being of your furry family members through comprehensive and personalized veterinary services.

No Appointments Required

Similar to an urgent care center for people, Urgent Paws provides prompt veterinary care for dogs and cats. We address illnesses and injuries requiring immediate attention, offering an alternative to expensive trips to a 24-hour emergency hospital.

Our mission at Urgent Paws is straightforward – to be there for your pet when your primary care vet can’t. We strive to deliver quick, convenient, and affordable care. Whether you choose to save your spot online or walk in, we are here for you.

We understand that emergencies don’t wait for business hours. Urgent Paws is open evenings, weekends, and even on holidays. You can bring comfort and relief to your pet when needed, without waiting for the next business day.

We serve as the bridge between your regular veterinarian and overnight emergency care. Urgent Paws provide immediate relief for mild illnesses and minor injuries in dogs and cats.

Check back for updates! Our clinic is currently under construction and will be opening in the summer of 2024!

Compassionate Approach

We understand the unique bond you share with your pets. Our team is not just about treating conditions – it’s about ensuring your pets feel cared for, understood, and comfortable during their visit.

Advanced Care

Communication and Collaboration

We believe in transparent communication. Urgent Paws collaborates closely with your primary care veterinarian, ensuring a seamless flow of information for comprehensive and continuous care.

Designed for a Calm Experience

Visiting the vet can be a daunting experience, but Urgent Paws is designed for a calm and stress-free visit for both pets and pet parents. Our clinics feature species and size-specific exam rooms, a comfort room with a separate exit, non-slip flooring, dimmable lighting, soothing colors, soft music, calming pheromones, and quiet exam lift tables.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

Our central treatment area boasts an in-house laboratory and state-of-the-art equipment, including digital radiography and ultrasound. Approximately 90% of the patients we see are treated onsite, with detailed referral letters and records provided for follow-up care with your primary veterinarian.
