Urgent and Same-Day Care: When the Unexpected Happens
At Clifton Ave Animal Hospital, we know that illnesses and injuries don’t adhere to a schedule. When your pet suddenly falls ill or gets hurt, waiting days for a regular appointment isn’t an option. Watching your companion suffer is incredibly stressful, and you need answers quickly.
That is why our clinic is equipped to handle Urgent and Same-Day Care. We bridge the gap between routine wellness visits and true “drop-everything” emergencies, providing fast relief, compassionate care, and advanced diagnostics when your furry family member needs them most.
Our Approach to Urgent Care
When you bring your pet in for an urgent issue, our dedicated medical team moves swiftly to assess, comfort, and diagnose.
Fast, Expert Triage
Immediate assessment to ensure stability and safety.
As soon as you arrive, our veterinary technicians will evaluate your pet to confirm they are stable. We prioritize getting eyes on your pet quickly to determine the severity of their condition and formulate an immediate action plan.
Immediate Pain Control
Pets instinctively hide their pain, but our trained staff knows exactly what to look for. Once your pet is stabilized, our next priority is making them comfortable. We utilize safe, fast-acting pain management protocols to alleviate their distress so they can rest while we investigate the underlying cause.
Advanced On-Site Diagnostics
When your pet is sick, time is of the essence. We utilize our fully-equipped, in-house laboratory, digital radiology (X-rays), and ultrasound to get accurate answers the very same day. This allows our doctors to start the correct treatment immediately, rather than waiting days for outside lab results.
What Counts as “Urgent”?
Urgent care is designed for conditions that require medical attention today, but are not immediately life-threatening. While our doctors may be managing scheduled appointments, we always work diligently to fit in sick pets who need our help.
