Urgent Care

When every second counts, our team is ready to treat injuries, illness, or sudden changes in behavior.

Urgent Care: Competent, Compassionate Care for Pet Health Concerns.

Not every health scare is an emergency, but that doesn’t mean it can wait. Our urgent care services provide same-day or next-day veterinary attention for pets who need treatment for illness or minor injury.

What Is Urgent Veterinary Care?

Urgent care is ideal for situations that require timely medical attention but are not life-threatening. Contact us if your pet shows signs like:

  • Vomiting or diarrhea that persists for more than 24 hours

  • Limping or lameness

  • Minor wounds or injuries

  • Eye discharge or squinting

  • Sudden lethargy or appetite loss

  • Coughing or sneezing

  • Urinary accidents or discomfort

We’ll evaluate your pet quickly, provide relief, and determine whether more advanced treatment is needed.

Why Choose Our Urgent Care?

We offer:

  • Same-day or next-day appointments (as available)

  • In-house diagnostics for faster results

  • On-site pharmacy for immediate prescriptions

  • Gentle, low-stress handling for anxious pets

  • Clear communication about cost and care options

Our goal is to provide efficient, compassionate treatment, getting your pet back to feeling better as soon as possible.

What to Expect During Your Visit

  1. Quick check-in and triage by our veterinary team

  2. Physical exam and diagnostic testing if needed (e.g., X-rays, bloodwork)

  3. Discussion of findings and recommended treatment plan

  4. Medications, wound care, or further monitoring as needed

If we identify a more serious issue, we’ll guide you through the next steps and refer to specialists or emergency care if appropriate.

Your pet’s health shouldn’t have to wait. When something seems off, we’re here to help—without the ER hassle.

💙 Whether it’s a checkup, questions, or care needs, visit us—we’re here to be your partner in your pet’s health.

Do Pets Get Allergies? True or False?

Did you know that pets can suffer from allergies just like humans? However, unlike humans who show symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes, pets usually exhibit allergic reactions through their skin. This can lead to allergies in pets often being overlooked or misdiagnosed as other illnesses.

At Lazy 3 Animal Care, scheduled appointments are the preferred and recommended way to see a veterinarian. Walk-in appointments are also welcome and will be worked in and seen by a veterinarian as quick as possible. In the event of an emergency during office hours, all appointments are temporarily put on hold until a veterinarian is available.

Lazy 3 Animal Care recommends that dogs be vaccinated annually with a version of a combo (Distemper, Parvo, Canine Influenza, Canine Hepatitis, Corona and Leptospira) and a Rabies vaccine. We recommend that cats be vaccinated annually with a feline viral respiratory combo and Rabies vaccine. Puppies can begin receiving their combo shots as early as 6 weeks old, receiving booster shots every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks old. Likewise, kittens can receive their combo shots as early as 6 weeks old but only require a single booster 3-4 weeks later. Both dogs and cats should be at least 12 weeks of age to receive a Rabies vaccine.

Bad breath, inflamed gums, plaque and tartar buildup, and loose teeth are all of great concern when it comes to the health of your animal's mouth. If you notice any of these signs, Lazy 3 Animal Care recommends that you bring your pet in for a dental checkup or schedule a dental cleaning. If your pet's teeth are not in need of a cleaning at the time of the checkup, we can give you recommendations to help maintain your pet's overall mouth health such as helpful treats/toys, teeth brushing, and other pet safe dental products. Suppose your animal is at greater risk of complications during anesthesia. In that case, we have products that can help improve mouth health and remove plaque and tartar buildup without performing a dental cleaning.
