Urgent Care
When your pet needs immediate medical attention for non-life-threatening conditions, pet urgent care is the ideal solution. At Westford Veterinary Emergency Referral Center, we are dedicated to offering timely, professional care tailored to your pet’s needs. Our urgent care services bridge the gap between routine veterinary visits and emergency care, ensuring your pet receives attention promptly.
What Is Urgent Care?
Pet urgent care provides medical attention for conditions that require prompt treatment but are not severe enough to be classified as emergencies. Common reasons to seek urgent care for your pet include vomiting, diarrhea, minor wounds, limping, or sudden behavioral changes.
If you’re unsure whether urgent care or emergency care is needed, contact us and let us help guide your decision. By offering pet urgent care, we help ensure that your pet receives timely care while alleviating the stress of waiting for a scheduled visit.
