Vancouver Urgent Vet Care
It can be an extremely stressful situation when your pet is in distress and you don’t know what to do for them. Vancouver Vet Urgent Care is here for you and your pet when things go bad. At this time, we do not offer walk-in care services, so please call during the hours above to make sure we can see your furry family member as soon as possible. This allows us to prepare an exam room and give you directions on how to keep your pet safe during the drive.
If your pet is experiencing an emergency, please call (360) 696-2529 during our normal business hours. Vancouver Veterinary Hospital is a fully-outfitted clinic able to analyze, diagnose, and treat pets in a wide variety of emergency situations. When you call, please be ready to tell us as much as you can about your pet’s condition.
We have the latest radiology (x-ray), ultrasound, and other on-site lab equipment that allows us to quickly investigate the problem with your pet and give us the information we need to begin treatment. This includes soft-tissue surgery, wound care, pain management, and more.
Our in-house pharmacy means you can get needed medication without having to drive to another location. We all know how important it is to get your pet back home where they feel safe and secure and can begin the healing process.
