Prompt, Compassionate Urgent Care for Your Pet’s Unexpected Needs
When your pet isn’t feeling well—but it’s not a full emergency—our urgent care services are here to help. At Boca Palms Animal Hospital, we provide same-day appointments and walk-in availability during business hours for sudden issues like minor injuries, vomiting, diarrhea, or changes in behavior.
Urgent care bridges the gap between routine veterinary visits and emergency care. It’s designed for non-life-threatening conditions that still require prompt attention, such as minor wounds, limping, or digestive upset. If your pet needs immediate care that doesn’t rise to the level of an emergency hospital, we’re here to help.
Our experienced team works quickly to assess, diagnose, and treat your pet with skill and compassion. With advanced in-house diagnostics and personalized attention, we’re committed to getting your furry friend on the road to recovery as soon as possible.
Examples of Urgent Care Needs:
- Same-day care
- Minor injuries
- Sudden illness
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Behavioral changes
- Limping or discomfort
What Happens If It's More Serious?
If your pet’s condition is beyond what we can stabilize in-clinic or requires overnight monitoring, we refer to Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) in Boynton Beach. Through our referral relationship with VEG, you receive the full benefit of their 24/7 emergency care, and VEG ensures your pet returns to us for follow-up treatment once they’re stable.
