What to Expect During Your Urgent Visit

Triage & Assessment

Our team quickly evaluates your pet to determine urgency and necessary intervention.

Diagnostics & Stabilization

We use in-house lab testing, digital X-ray, and ultrasound to identify issues. IV fluids, pain relief, and bandaging are administered on-site.

Communication & Treatment Planning

We discuss our findings with you and outline a clear, tailored plan—including medications or referrals.

Tailored Follow-Up

We’ll help you schedule follow-up care with your primary vet or a specialist if needed.

Outside Our Opening Hours

Pine Animal Hospital does not provide overnight or on-call care. Contact an emergency veterinary hospital for after-hours emergencies.

Trusted 24/7 Partners

Safe procedures with anesthesia monitoring and pain control.

Home Care Advice

We refer emergencies like difficulty breathing, toxin ingestion, collapse, persistent vomiting/diarrhea, trauma, or seizures to our affiliated emergency centers with whom we coordinate care.

After-Hours Emergency Support

While Pine Animal Hospital isn’t open 24/7, our clinic works with trusted emergency specialists to protect your pet’s well-being.

Compassionate End-of-Life & Hospice Services

When your pet’s journey nears its end:

In-Clinic Euthanasia

Gentle care and support in a comforting environment.

At-Home Euthanasia

Professional and compassionate services in the familiarity of your home.

Memorial & Aftercare Support

Guidance on burial, cremation, and coping with loss.

Why Pine’s Urgent Care Stands Out

  • Swift same-day visits — ideal for non-critical yet urgent concerns
  • Expert triage and in-house diagnostics
  • Clear communication and expert guidance
  • Strong partnerships with emergency and specialty hospitals
  • Compassionate end-of-life support when needed
