Introducing Walk-In Wednesdays

A Whole Day Dedicated to Urgent Care or Last-Minute Needs

Whether you forget to book your annual wellness exam or have a sudden urgent care need, our hospital is here for you with walk-in availability every Wednesday. Our skilled team of veterinarians brings extensive experience in a wide range of pet care needs, including surgeries, dental procedures, and urgent care, all while prioritizing a positive experience for both pets and their owners. Every Wednesday until 4 p.m., one of our expert veterinarians will be dedicated exclusively to walk-in patients, making wait times minimal while prioritizing prompt attention to urgent needs.

Walk-In Wednesday Is for Everyone: New Pets and New Clients Welcome!

Whether you’re a new client, a current client with a new pet, or bringing in a current patient, anyone is welcome to walk in on Wednesdays for any veterinary care needs, including urgent care and last-minute surgery. Our team welcomes all patients — existing or new — and will triage everyone the same way. From wellness visits to urgent care, we’re ready to help your pet anytime between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., no appointment necessary.

We're welcoming both new and existing clients to our walk-in vet appointments.

Urgent care includes issues that are non-life-threatening but need quick attention. Urgent care is not emergency care. Please seek emergency care for issues that are potentially life-threatening. This could include collapse or loss of consciousness, not breathing, cardiac arrest, and severe trauma or injury. If your pet needs emergency care, see our list of recommended local emergency veterinary practices.

Our wait times for our walk-in appointments depend on how many patients we have and the condition for which they are being treated.

Wondering about Wait Times?

Wait times will depend on how many patients we have and the condition for which they are being treated. Please call us at (206) 324-4414 to speak with one of our Client Care Coordinators about current wait time estimates.
