Urgent Care

When every second counts, our team is ready to treat injuries, illness, or sudden changes in behavior.

Urgent Care: Competent, Compassionate Care for Pet Health Concerns.

Not every health scare is an emergency, but that doesn’t mean it can wait. Our urgent care services provide same-day or next-day veterinary attention for pets who need treatment for illness or minor injury.

What Is Urgent Veterinary Care?

Urgent care is ideal for situations that require timely medical attention but are not life-threatening. Contact us if your pet shows signs like:

  • Vomiting or diarrhea that persists for more than 24 hours

  • Limping or lameness

  • Minor wounds or injuries

  • Eye discharge or squinting

  • Sudden lethargy or appetite loss

  • Coughing or sneezing

  • Urinary accidents or discomfort

We’ll evaluate your pet quickly, provide relief, and determine whether more advanced treatment is needed.

Why Choose Our Urgent Care?

We offer:

  • Same-day or next-day appointments (as available)

  • In-house diagnostics for faster results

  • On-site pharmacy for immediate prescriptions

  • Gentle, low-stress handling for anxious pets

  • Clear communication about cost and care options

Our goal is to provide efficient, compassionate treatment, getting your pet back to feeling better as soon as possible.

What to Expect During Your Visit

  1. Quick check-in and triage by our veterinary team

  2. Physical exam and diagnostic testing if needed (e.g., X-rays, bloodwork)

  3. Discussion of findings and recommended treatment plan

  4. Medications, wound care, or further monitoring as needed

If we identify a more serious issue, we’ll guide you through the next steps and refer to specialists or emergency care if appropriate.

Your pet’s health shouldn’t have to wait. When something seems off, we’re here to help—without the ER hassle.

💙 Whether it’s a checkup, questions, or care needs, visit us—we’re here to be your partner in your pet’s health.

Stone House Animal Hospital FAQs

There is no question too big or too small for our veterinary team.

Yes. Dog fight wounds can look minor, but the damage is often hidden. Imagine your shirt is your dog's skin. Pinch a small section of your shirt and pull it away from you. If this was your dog's skin, the entire area of your shirt that lifted away from you is the tissue that actually pulled loose under the skin. Damage like this may not heal on its own. There may be only a small mark (like where your fingers were), but the damage can be quite extensive underneath. Finding this before further problems occur is best for your pet and less expensive for you! You can contact Stone House Animal Hospital for such concerns.

There are several indicators of pain: hiding, not playing like usual, crying, biting, sad look in their eyes, doesn't want to get up. It is in a pet's nature to hide its pain, so by the time you start seeing any of these indicators, they really don't feel well and need to see a veterinarian. You can call Stone House Animal Hospital if you have such concerns.

No. These medications are not safe for pets. If you feel your pet would benefit from pain relief, please come see Stone House Animal Hospital. There are a lot of pain medications for our doctors to choose from so that your pet can feel better quickly- without the negative side effects of human pain relievers.

Females are spayed, and males are neutered. Both surgeries are done to keep pets from having babies. This not only helps to limit pet overpopulation but there are significant health advantages as well as potential behavioral advantages to both. You can contact Stone House Animal Hospital if you would like to know more.

Often this is an indication that their anal glands need to be expressed. Anal glands can become infected, impacted, and in some cases, can rupture. Some dogs need to have this procedure done frequently. Others don't. You can contact Stone House Animal Hospital if you have such concerns.

As a general rule from Stone House Animal Hospital, anything rich or fatty can cause trouble, so it's best to just feed pet food. Be sure to stay away from grapes, raisins, onions, chocolate, sugar-free gum, and anything with caffeine. These can be toxic.
