Urgent Care

OSVS, and every other emergency facility in the region, is dealing with an unprecedented caseload of seriously ill and injured patients. We are having to turn away patients that are not in life-threatening danger on most days, and limit most of our emergency care to patients requiring immediate hospitalization. To help with this influx we are now offering Urgent Care through our Emergency Room. Urgent Care appointments are open most days from 8 AM – 6 PM and are available on a first-call, first-serve basis. Your pet will be seen by the attending veterinarian for non-life-threatening emergencies. We hope this helps to reduce the wait time in our Emergency Room and gets pets medical treatment faster for non-urgent ailments. You can make an appointment by calling 401-886-6787.

List of ailments seen through Urgent Care including but not limited to:

  • Ear infections
  • Eye issues
  • UTIs
  • Mild to moderate vomiting & diarrhea
  • Decreased appetite/lethargy

Appointments for patients that could be treated as outpatients are limited and are not offered seven days a week, please call 401-886-6787 to schedule an Urgent Care appointment. These are precious appointment slots so we ask for your full cooperation.

  • If you are not going to come for your appointment, please call as soon as you decide. This will allow us to offer the appointment to another pet in need of care.
  • Please arrive 10 MINUTES EARLY for your scheduled appointment. If you are not here by the time your appointment is scheduled, it will be forfeited. If your pet is stable, we will likely not be able to see it today. If your pet is in need of emergency care today, it will be put in the queue to be seen by the emergency service (and there may be a several hours wait). Please try to be on time so we can provide you with the best service.
  • Your appointment is 30/45 minutes long. If we cannot get diagnostics and treatments done in that time period, we may ask that you leave your pet with us for a few hours. Please be prepared for this possibility.
  • Payment is due at the time service is provided.
