When something feels off,
we’ll see you today.
Same-day urgent visits for sick or injured pets — without the multi-day wait or the emergency-room bill. Dr. Ameis sees a limited number of urgent appointments each day so you can be seen quickly and seen well.
What we see in urgent visits
If you’re worried, come in. These are the most common reasons owners book a same-day slot.
Vomiting & diarrhea
Especially if it’s been more than 24 hours, has blood in it, or your pet is acting unwell between episodes.
Limping & swelling
New limping, painful joints, hot or swollen areas, or any reluctance to walk, jump, or be touched.
Eye or ear pain
Squinting, redness, discharge, scratching, head-shaking, or any sudden vision change.
Allergic flare-ups
Hot spots, sudden facial swelling, hives, intense scratching, or chewing at paws and skin.
Skin & wound care
Cuts, abscesses, bite wounds, or unexplained sores that aren’t healing.
ADR — “ain’t doing right”
Lethargy, hiding, not eating, abnormal urination. You know your pet best — trust your gut.
What to expect
A same-day urgent visit takes about 30–45 minutes. We do a thorough exam, talk through what you’re seeing at home, and recommend any diagnostics that would actually change the plan — not a blanket panel.
- Same or next business day appointment, guaranteed for VIPP members
- One doctor who follows the case from start to finish
- Honest pricing and a written estimate before any work is done
- Clear next steps before you leave the room
We triage every case.
Always call us first — most concerns can be handled in our urgent visit slots, and we’ll tell you honestly if it’s something more time-critical. When that’s the case, we have a direct line to MASH (Metropolitan Animal Specialty Hospital) that lets us transfer your pet straight to their ER doctor, skipping the standard intake queue. Coming to us first usually saves time at the ER, not loses it.
Same-day care is one click away
