Urgent Vet Care in Central Kentucky
When your pet needs prompt medical attention but it’s not a life-threatening emergency, our urgent care services bridge the gap between routine appointments and emergency hospital visits.
Same-Day Veterinary Care When It Can’t Wait
Sometimes pets need immediate care that isn’t a true emergency — like sudden vomiting, minor injuries, or discomfort that can’t wait days for a regular appointment. Our Urgent Vet Care services provide fast access to treatment so your pet gets relief quickly, without the higher cost of emergency care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is urgent vet care?
Urgent care is for pets who need prompt medical attention but are not in a life-threatening emergency. Examples include minor injuries, ear infections, skin problems, or sudden illness when your regular vet is closed.
Where is urgent care available?
Urgent vet care is only available at our Advanced Animal Care Emergency Hospital in Richmond, KY. This location is open 24/7, so your pet can be seen anytime they need immediate, non-life-threatening care.
Do I need an appointment for urgent care?
No appointment is needed. You may walk in at our Richmond ER hospital, and pets are seen in order of medical priority. Critical emergencies may be treated first.
How do I know if my pet needs urgent care or emergency care?
If your pet is stable but clearly unwell (vomiting, limping, minor wounds, infections), urgent care may be appropriate. If your pet is struggling to breathe, severely injured, bleeding heavily, or unresponsive, treat it as an emergency and come in immediately.
How much does urgent vet care cost?
Costs depend on your pet’s condition and the tests or treatments required. Our team will provide an estimate before beginning care and we offer financing through our third party partners. In many cases, urgent visits cost less than full emergency treatments.
