Urgent care is provided for illness or injuries which require prompt, same day attention but are not necessarily of a life or death nature. Covid -19 created a steep increase in pet ownership - this, combined with a worldwide shortage of veterinarians and support staff, has illustrated a concerning gap in urgent available veterinary care. Many hospitals have full appointments providing daily preve

ntive care ( vaccines, wellness exams, dietary consults, and all of the things that go into keeping your pet happy and healthy) and accessing an urgent visit can be a challenge. At Penhorn Animal Hospital, we work with your family veterinary team to ensure that your pet receives fast, same day appointments for conditions that just can't wait. We are excited to launch this next step in excellent veterinary service!

Staff pets Gilligan and Brigs want everyone to know that we're open all weekend long...and yes, that includes Monday!

As an urgent care veterinary hospital we maintain our regular 10am - 8pm hours during holidays ( except Christmas Day. Let's face it - everyone needs a break sometimes.) We see patients by appointment to minimize waiting and stress, so call 902-444-1644 and our staff will be able to assist you 😊

Summer is slipping by...have a safe and fun Natal Day weekend!

Not all breeds of dog have the same requirements - for some, the requirements for mental and physical stimulation are far greater than others. Iris is a dog who benefits from working her brain & body at the same time, and herding lessons fit the bill!

What's this? Sunny got to explore while visiting Penhorn Animal Hospital and quickly discovered Dr Lamey's home grown catnip, which we keep for curious kitties 😊 Seems to be a success!

Ruby and Honey may not know one another, but they have a friend in common! Ruby (left) came to Penhorn Animal Hospital just for a stress free, happy pop in visit - these quick social visits are simply about positive association. We want all pets to be as comfortable as possible when they see us, and sometimes familiarity can help with that! So for Ruby, it was all about the treats. Honey (right) saw Dr Lamey to have a bruise assessed, but treats also played a part in her visit 😊 Happy puppers all around!

Dr Lamey does not generally see clients for preventative visits...after years in emergency veterinary medicine, urgent care is more her forte. But she does have several patients who are the exception and Charlie is one of those. So why is that? It might be because of his charm and personality, but it could *also* be because of his fabulous ears and eyebrows. It's a mystery!

We love it when clients send us family photos! But one of the lessons pets give us is sometimes memories like these can be a little bittersweet.

Axel, Gunner, Arizona & Bandit...Arizona and Bandit are no longer here but beautiful family photos like this serve as a reminder that they are still loved and missed ❤️

Momo is a frequent flier at Penhorn Animal Hospital! Momo has Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex ( EGC) - this is an autoimmune disease that can present in different ways, but very often results in a swollen lip...as was the case with Momo. The good news : this type of swollen lip is usually not painful or bothersome, as Momo clearly demonstrated when he happily enjoyed his lickable treat 😊 You're always such a good sport, Momo!

Jennie was adopted from the SPCA with a diagnosed history of hip dysplasia, and her owners knew she would need ongoing care. She came to Penhorn Animal Hospital for a refill of medication and a check up.

Dr Lamey - a prolific gardener - gave her a little home grown catnip during her visit, and we think we can confidently say that she liked it!
