Prompt Veterinary Attention When You Need It Most

Life with pets is unpredictable. One minute, they’re full of energy — and the next, they’re limping, vomiting, or shaking their head non-stop. At Monte Vista Animal Hospital, we reserve dedicated slots each day for same-day urgent vet care, so your pet can be seen quickly by a team that knows them.

Whether it’s an ear infection, digestive upset, limping, or just something that “feels off,” our urgent care services are designed to give fast veterinary attention for pets — without compromising the thoughtful, high-touch experience we’re known for.

What Counts as Urgent Care?

Our urgent care visits are ideal for:

  • Ear infections or head shaking
  • Vomiting or diarrhea (without severe dehydration)
  • Eye redness, squinting, or discharge
  • Limping or suspected minor injuries
  • Coughing or sneezing
  • Mild allergic reactions
  • Sudden behavioral changes
  • Appetite changes or lethargy

These are non-emergency pet care issues that still require timely evaluation — especially when they arise suddenly or outside your pet’s normal routine.

For Existing Patients Only

Our urgent care availability is exclusively for current Monte Vista clients, ensuring that your pet is seen by a team that knows their history, understands your concerns, and can act quickly with context. This allows us to provide seamless, personal care and avoid the stress of unfamiliar environments or rushed service.

If you’re an existing client and concerned about your pet, call us right away. We’ll help determine whether urgent care is appropriate — or if emergency or next-day care is more suitable.

What to Expect During an Urgent Care Visit:

A vet examine a dog
  • Prompt triage by our medical team
  • Full exam by a veterinarian
  • Diagnostics as needed (bloodwork, radiographs, etc.)
  • Immediate treatment or home care recommendations
  • Transparent communication and next steps

We strive to create a calm, reassuring experience for both you and your pet — even when things feel uncertain.

Same-Day Peace of Mind Starts Here

Our walk-in veterinary services are limited to accommodate true same-day needs. We recommend calling early in the day, as our urgent slots often fill up fast. When you’re worried, we’re ready.

We may also suggest next-day follow-ups or transfer to a local emergency facility for severe issues that require overnight care or hospitalization.
