Urgent Care

Urgent Care Appointments Available at Companion Animal Hospital Kenosha! We’re here for your pets’ unexpected needs sprinkled throughout the week!  Whether it’s a sudden issue or you just need same-day care, we’ve got you covered.

As a dedicated pet owner, we understand that seeing your beloved companion in pain can be distressing. In times of injury or illness, it’s crucial to make the right choice between routine care, urgent care, or emergency care for your pet.

At Companion Animal Hospital Kenosha, we are here to provide urgent care services for your furry friends. Our veterinary hospital is equipped to handle conditions and issues that require immediate attention but are not life-threatening. If your pet is experiencing an urgent medical condition, our team is ready to assist you.

While we understand it may be difficult to call in advance, it’s important to reach out to us to schedule before arriving at our clinic to confirm our facility can accommodate your pet’s urgent needs. Our goal is to ensure your pet receives the medical care they need as quickly as possible.

Understanding the Difference Between Pet Urgent Care and Emergency Care:

It’s important to differentiate between urgent care and emergency care for your pet. Urgent care is suitable for non-life-threatening situations that require prompt attention but can wait until their next vet appointment. Our urgent care appointments ensure that your pet receives the necessary treatment without delay.

On the other hand, emergency care is reserved for pets with life-threatening injuries or illnesses. If your pet is experiencing a critical condition such as choking, difficulty breathing, or severe trauma, we recommend seeking immediate care at an emergency veterinary hospital.

How Urgent Care Works:

When your pet is injured or ill, it’s crucial to remain calm to provide them with comfort. In some cases, animals in pain may act out of character, potentially behaving aggressively. To safely transport your pet to our urgent care facility, you can use strategies such as covering their eyes with a towel before placing them in their carrier.

Once you arrive at our hospital, you and your pet will be asked to wait either in the waiting room or your vehicle until your appointment time. Our dedicated veterinary team will provide the necessary care and recommend any follow-up treatments to ensure your pet’s healing process.

Schedule an Urgent Care Appointment:

If you’ve noticed any concerning changes in your pet’s behavior or health, don’t hesitate to seek veterinary care. Starting July 3rd, we are offering Urgent Care Appointments on Mondays from 9 am to 6 pm.
