Urgent Care for Pets
In human healthcare, there are diverse treatment options available when someone falls ill. We know when to seek help at an emergency hospital, opt for same-day urgent care, or wait to consult our primary care physician.
However, this wasn’t the norm in veterinary medicine until recently. Fortunately, the rise of animal urgent care clinics offers more options for same-day treatment of stable yet painful conditions. Looking for pet urgent care in Bentonville? As a pet owner, being aware of the available options nearby is crucial so you can act promptly if your dog or cat needs immediate attention.
Depending on the seriousness of your pet’s medical condition, you may choose to visit an ER, an animal urgent care clinic, or your regular GP.
