Vet urgent care is for issues that aren't life-threatening but shouldn't wait. An emergency vet is the right choice for situations that could put your pet's life at risk, like trouble breathing, seizures, major trauma, or unresponsiveness. Think of urgent care as the middle ground: issues that need attention today but are not immediately life-threatening. Common scenarios include vomiting, limping, ear infections, eye issues, skin concerns, and mild reactions. If you are unsure which level of care is right, default to emergency care — it’s always safer to be evaluated and sent home than to delay.

If you can, book ahead to check availability and bring a list of any medications your pet is taking. It also helps to note when symptoms started and any recent changes. You don't need to prepare extensively. If your pet ingested something, bring the packaging or note the product name and quantity. Photos or short videos of symptoms can help your vet understand what changed. If you are not sure whether your pet needs to come in, Bond Vet Telehealth is available for a quick virtual consultation.

Costs can vary depending on your pet's condition and the treatment needed. Your care team will walk you through recommendations and pricing before moving forward. Bond Vet is transparent about costs: your care team will go over any recommended diagnostics or treatments and their pricing before proceeding so there are no surprise charges.

Hours vary by location, but most Bond Vet clinics are open 7 days a week with extended hours. Check your nearest clinic for details. Same-day appointments and walk-ins are both available during clinic hours. If your pet needs care outside of clinic hours, go directly to an emergency veterinary hospital.

Most visits run on time, but urgent cases may be prioritized when needed. Booking ahead online is the most reliable way to minimize wait time, especially during busy morning and evening hours. Walk-ins are always welcome but may experience a longer wait time when the clinic is at capacity. If your pet shows signs of serious distress when you arrive, alert the front desk so the team can assess priority.

We offer same-day appointments and walk-ins. Booking ahead is recommended when possible, but we'll do our best to see you. You can book online, by phone, or just walk in. Same-day slots are available at most locations. Booking ahead gives you a more predictable arrival experience, but walk-ins are accommodated as quickly as possible.

We treat a range of non-life-threatening issues, including vomiting, limping, skin concerns, infections, and more. Our urgent care team handles bite wounds, urinary changes, toxic ingestion (if your pet is stable), diarrhea and vomiting, ear infections, eye discharge or redness, cuts and abrasions, hair loss, coughing, and sneezing — see the full list of conditions in the section above. For conditions requiring surgery or intensive monitoring, we will refer you to the right specialist or emergency facility.

If your pet is experiencing severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, seizures, collapse, major trauma, or poisoning, go directly to an emergency vet. If you're unsure, it's always safest to seek emergency care ASAP. Other situations requiring an emergency vet include uncontrolled bleeding, suspected broken bones, extended loss of consciousness, and toxin ingestion with rapid or severe symptoms. When unsure, always default to emergency care.
