When your pet is sick, waiting days for an opening feels impossible — but the emergency room means hours of waiting and a large bill for something that may be straightforward. Our same-day urgent care fills that gap for Glendale and the nearby communities.
Call as early as you can and describe what's happening; our team will fit urgent cases into the day's schedule whenever possible and tell you honestly if your pet needs emergency-level care instead. Same-day visits include an exam and any needed on-site diagnostics, with treatment usually starting immediately.
How it works
- Call when we open — earlier calls get more options
- Describe symptoms so we can triage by phone
- Be seen the same day whenever capacity allows
- On-site lab work and imaging as needed
- Treatment starts at the visit, not days later
- Honest redirection to emergency care when warranted

Call when we open and describe symptoms; earlier calls get more scheduling options. We triage honestly — fitting urgent cases into the day's schedule when capacity allows, and telling you straight when your pet needs emergency-level care instead.

Frequently asked questions
Do you take walk-ins?
Call first, even from the parking lot — it lets us triage, prepare, and give you a realistic wait instead of a surprise. Genuinely critical walk-ins are always stabilized; for everything else, a two-minute call makes your visit faster and smoother.
What can actually be handled in a same-day visit?
Most of what makes owners worry: vomiting and diarrhea, limping, skin and ear flare-ups, eye problems, wounds, urinary changes, appetite loss. On-site lab work and imaging mean diagnosis and treatment usually start before you leave.
What if it turns out to be more serious than urgent care can handle?
We stabilize, we're honest about it, and we get you to the right level of care with records and a doctor-to-doctor handoff — then take back over for follow-up once your pet is out of the woods. No dead ends.
