General Practice Visit or Urgent Care? 🤔🐾 Let’s Clear It Up!
We are here for your pets in both the everyday moments and the unexpected ones. Here’s how to know which service your pet needs:
🐶 GP (General Practice) Appointments – Best for:
✔️ Wellness exams & vaccines
✔️ Chronic issues (allergies, arthritis, skin problems)
✔️ Prescription refills & routine bloodwork
✔️ Behavioral or nutritional consults
✔️ Non-urgent concerns you’ve noticed over time
Think: scheduled, ongoing, or preventive care.
🐱 Urgent Care (Non-Emergency) – Best for:
✔️ Vomiting or diarrhea
✔️ Ear infections
✔️ Minor wounds or limping
✔️ Eye squinting or redness
✔️ Sudden but not critical changes in behavior or appetite
✔️Ingestion of a toxin
✔️Minor lacerations
Think: sudden issues that shouldn’t wait days, but aren’t life-threatening. Call us for questions of course!
🚨 But what is an emergency?
Head straight to a 24/7 ER if your pet has:
❗ Difficulty breathing
❗ Uncontrolled bleeding
❗ Hit by a car or major trauma
We’re here to help you choose the right care so your pet gets the attention they need—when they need it. ❤️🐾
