What We Do
We’re here nights, weekends and holidays, providing convenient walk-in service for you and your pet. We treat cases that require immediate attention – but aren’t serious enough to require emergency hospitalization. In most cases, UrgentVet can diagnose and treat your pet’s problem in less than an hour saving you time and money by keeping your pet out of the emergency vet!What We Don't Do
We can’t keep your pet for overnight stays, and we’re not equipped to handle cases that require hospitalization or advanced surgical care. If we diagnose a serious condition, we’ll discuss other options with you, including the possible need for an immediate transfer to a 24-hour emergency hospital.Welcome to UrgentVet – Westchase Urgent Vet Clinic | Westchase, FL
