Urgent Pet Care at Veterinary Care Center
Veterinary Care Center is by appointment only. Please call us at 636-537-9960 to schedule your appointment.
We understand that emergencies with your pet can be stressful, and we’re here to help. If you have an urgent concern about your pet’s health, don’t hesitate to call us immediately. Our highly skilled veterinary team is on duty six days a week, equipped to handle a wide range of urgent care situations—from wound care to complex surgical procedures. With our comprehensive diagnostic equipment, including an in-house bloodwork suite, ultrasound, digital radiology, and a full-service pharmacy, we’re prepared to address your pet’s needs efficiently and effectively.
While we strive to accommodate your pet for same-day urgent care appointments, there may be times when we cannot fit your pet in on short notice. If that happens, we may refer you to one of our trusted emergency clinics.
If your pet requires urgent care, please don’t wait—contact us at 636-537-9960 to schedule an appointment or get advice on next steps.
