Same-Day Pet Urgent Vet Care in Huntington Beach, CA

Same-Day Pet Urgent Vet Care in Huntington Beach, CA

Pets don’t wait for a convenient time to feel unwell. That’s why we offer same-day urgent vet care appointments for cats and dogs who need attention quickly, but don’t quite need the ER. If your pet has suddenly developed a limp, isn’t eating like usual, or just seems “off,” we’re here to help with the warmth and attentiveness you’d expect from your neighborhood veterinarian. While availability may be limited, we’ll do our best to accommodate same-day requests whenever possible.

Is your pet acting out of the norm? Call us to schedule a same-day appointment!

What Counts as Urgent Care for Pets?

What Counts as Urgent Care for Pets?

Urgent care bridges the gap between routine visits and true emergencies. It’s for those moments when you know your pet needs to be seen today, but they’re stable and not in immediate danger. We encourage you to reach out to us for same-day appointments if your pet is experiencing:

  • Minor limping or lameness

  • Vomiting or diarrhea (without blood or collapse)

  • Decreased appetite or low energy

  • Ear infections (scratching, head shaking, odor)

  • Eye redness, discharge, or squinting

  • Coughing and excessive sneezing

  • Skin irritation or hot spots

  • Scooting or signs of anal gland discomfort

  • Urinary accidents or straining to urinate

  • Insect bites or allergic reactions (mild swelling, hives)

If you're unsure whether your pet’s condition is urgent or an emergency, please don’t hesitate to call us. Our experienced team will talk through the symptoms and guide you in the right direction.
