You can check in with the front desk once you arrive! Our triage team will assess your pets condition, and stable patients presenting with non-emergent issues may be offered the next available Urgent Care appointment. If the Urgent Care Service is full for that day, you may enter the queue to be seen by one of our ER veterinarians.

If you checked in online, please Reply “9” to cancel your reservation at any time. Alternatively, you may call the hospital and let our receptionists know so we can take your pet out of the waiting queue.

Below is a list of conditions that warrant presentation at a veterinary urgent care. The Urgent Care service is a same-day, appointment based service that serves as a bridge between general practice veterinary clinics and our 24-hour Emergency and Critical Care Department. If a pet ultimately needs more advanced care and/or hospitalization, referral to the Emergency and Critical Care Service is available. Mild to Moderate Lameness: Sudden limping or difficulty walking without any observed trauma. Minor Wounds: Small cuts, abrasions, or puncture wounds not involving deep tissues or major organs. Mild to Moderate Vomiting or Diarrhea: Without any accompanying severe symptoms, such as blood in the vomit or stool. Mild Allergic Reactions: Swelling, hives, or itching without respiratory distress. Ear Infections: Signs may include scratching at the ears, head shaking, or mild discharge. Eye Discharge or Mild Redness: Without any traumatic injury or sudden blindness. Skin Conditions: Rashes, mild bites, localized hair loss, or hot spots. Urinary Issues: Difficulty urinating, increased frequency, or minor blood in the urine. Upper Respiratory Infections: Mild coughing, sneezing, or nasal discharge. Loss of Appetite: Refusing to eat for less than 24 hours without any other severe symptoms. Behavioral Changes: Mild anxiety, slight disorientation, or other behavioral issues without acute distress or aggression. Sudden Flea or Tick Infestation: Requires prompt treatment but not an emergency. Constipation or Minor Digestive Upsets: Without severe pain or accompanying symptoms. Please note that the Summit Urgent Care service does not replace the need for a primary care veterinarian. We do not provide nail trims, wellness exams, grooming appointments, health/travel certificates, or surgeries.

Currently, Urgent Care appointments are available on Mondays from 8am to 5pm. There are no Urgent Care services available on December 25th or January 1st. To schedule an appointment with the Urgent Care team, a $220 non-refundable exam fee will be necessary to pay when making your appointment and to hold your spot.
