When to Seek Same-Day Urgent Care in Port Moody
Not every health concern requires a trip to an emergency hospital, and not every concern can wait until the next available scheduled appointment. Same-day urgent care is the right choice for situations that are time-sensitive but not immediately life-threatening. Concerns that typically warrant same-day urgent attention include sudden lameness or injury, vomiting or diarrhoea that is frequent or has persisted for more than a few hours, eye injuries or sudden changes in vision, wounds or lacerations, difficulty urinating in cats, unexplained swelling, and signs of pain or significant discomfort. Our team in Port Moody is experienced in assessing these presentations quickly and efficiently so your pet gets the attention they need without unnecessary delay.
What to Expect During an Urgent Care Visit
When you arrive for an urgent care appointment, our front desk team will gather the relevant information about your pet's concern as quickly as possible. A veterinarian will assess your pet and discuss findings and options with you directly. In many cases, urgent issues are evaluated and addressed within the same visit. For situations requiring further investigation, we can often run bloodwork or perform imaging the same day using our in-house diagnostic equipment. We believe you should understand what is happening with your pet and what options are available before any decision is made.
After-Hours Resources for Port Moody Pet Owners
Newport Village Animal Hospital is open every day of the week with extended evening hours on weekdays. If your pet needs attention after our clinic hours or on a statutory holiday, there are 24-hour emergency facilities in the region that can help. We recommend keeping the numbers of our referral partners saved in your phone so you are prepared if the situation arises. Contact our team during business hours for a current referral recommendation specific to your pet's situation and location.
