Urgent Care

Pet Urgent Care

Sick pets need quick treatment.

When your pet suddenly isn’t feeling well, fast care matters, but that care shouldn’t come with a high price tag. At Affordable Animal Hospital in Tacoma, WA, we offer low-cost pet urgent care so that dogs and cats can get the treatment they need without delay. Dr. Walia and our experienced team are ready to assist with urgent pet health concerns at our affordable veterinary clinic.

When to Seek Urgent Care for Your Pet

If your pet is in pain, acting differently, or showing signs of illness, it’s important to get them checked out. Pet urgent care services at Affordable Animal Hospital cover many conditions, including:

Vomiting
Diarrhea
Gastrointestinal Issues
Heartworm
Tapeworm
Mobility issues
Cardiovascular Issues
Neurological Issues
Urinary Problems

Skin Conditions
Hot Spots
Allergies
Ear issues
Nose issues
Throat issues
Laceration Repair
Sudden Pain or Discomfort

If your pet is experiencing a true life-threatening medical emergency, we may be able to stabilize their condition before referring you to a nearby emergency hospital for continued care. Dr. Walia has experience in dealing with critical emergencies that can affect pets.

Same-Day and Walk-In Appointments for Sick Pets

Our veterinary team knows that urgent issues can’t always wait. Affordable Animal Hospital has same-day and walk-in appointments for sick or injured pets. While we welcome walk-ins, calling ahead is hugely helpful for our staff. Giving us a call enables us to prepare for your pet’s visit and block off time on our schedule. Appointments are still preferred whenever possible so we can provide the best service for every pet.

Our goal is to make sure your pet gets timely treatment in a low-stress environment. If you are unsure whether your pet requires same-day urgent care, we suggest giving us a call.

After-Hours Emergency Veterinary Hospitals

Our clinic is open for pet urgent care during regular business hours. If your pet needs immediate assistance outside of those hours, we recommend contacting a local 24-hour emergency hospital. Knowing where to go after-hours ensures your pet can get the help they need, no matter the time of day. Affordable Animal Hospital refers our pet patients to:

Summit Veterinary Referral Center
2505 S 80th St
Tacoma, WA 98409
(253) 983-1114

BluePearl Pet Hospital

2510 S 84th St, Ste. 30D
Lakewood, WA 98499
(253) 474-0791

We strongly recommend keeping the number of a local 24-hour emergency vet in your phone in case your pet ever experiences a serious health event. For more advice on how to prepare for common emergency situations that your pet might face, talk to our team at your pet’s routine appointment.
