What is Urgent Care for Pets?

Urgent care bridges the gap between routine veterinary visits and full emergencies. If your pet is experiencing a medical issue that isn't immediately life-threatening but still needs timely attention, our pet urgent care services can help. These situations can be stressful, and our team at Central Broward Animal Hospital is equipped to provide prompt, personalized care with the same level of attention and expertise we bring to emergencies. Common urgent care conditions we treat include:

  • Minor wounds or lacerations

  • Ear infections

  • Eye redness, swelling, or discharge

  • Limping or lameness

  • Mild allergic reactions (swelling, hives, itching)

  • Urinary discomfort or frequent urination

  • Coughing or sneezing without severe distress

  • Appetite loss or lethargy

  • Skin irritation, rashes, or hot spots

  • Scooting or signs of anal gland issues
