Urgent Care

Prompt, thoughtful care when your pet can't wait — but doesn't need the ER

When your pet is sick, uncomfortable, or injured, timing matters. Our urgent care services are designed for situations that need prompt medical attention without the stress, cost, or intensity of a full emergency hospital.

At Anne Arundel Veterinary Hospital, urgent care means rapid evaluation, sound clinical judgment, and clear guidance delivered by an experienced veterinary team you can trust. We assess your pet efficiently, explain what's happening, outline your options, and help you decide on the right next steps, including referral to emergency care when needed.
