Sick pet, not an emergency?
Who can see you today?

Urgent care vets, same-day clinics and weekend hours in one place, with the rules Google Maps leaves out: Sunday hours that aren't really for sick pets, walk-in policies and exam fees.

Urgent care or ER?

Vet urgent care / same-day

For vomiting, limping, small wounds, ear or eye problems, or a pet that's "off" but alert. Urgent care clinics say they're often cheaper and faster than an ER. Many close overnight.

24/7 emergency hospital

For trouble breathing, collapse, blue/gray gums, a long seizure, heavy bleeding, a toxin swallowed, or a male cat straining to pee. ERs see the sickest pets first, so minor cases may wait.

How we verify

Each listing comes from the clinic's own website, and each card links to the exact page used. If a clinic doesn't post a fee, hours or walk-in policy, we write "not published" instead of guessing. Every city page shows its last-checked date.
