Urgent Pet Care in Andrews, NC
Fast, Compassionate Care for Urgent Situations
Pets can’t tell us when something is wrong, but sudden changes in behavior, appetite, or mobility can signal a serious problem. That’s why our hospital is equipped to handle a wide range of urgent medical situations—from vomiting and diarrhea to wounds, injuries, and difficulty breathing.
Our veterinarians and staff are trained to stabilize patients, perform diagnostic tests, and provide immediate treatment or pain relief as needed. We combine compassionate care with medical precision to help pets feel better and families feel reassured.
If your pet is having an immediate issue during business hours, please call us right away: (828) 321-3316.
