Urgent Care

As you might expect, pets usually don’t get sick and injured according to schedule. That’s why, in an effort to always be there for your pets, our veterinarians at Bramalea Animal Hospital provide urgent care and walk-in appointments.
When you bring your pet to us for urgent care, we’ll prioritize their care to first ensure that their condition is stable. We then examine your pet, run any necessary diagnostic test, provide you with a diagnosis, and recommend a variety of treatment options.
