Urgent Pet Care
When your pet is experiencing sudden, concerning symptoms, our pet urgent care services at Pet Medical Center of Boca Raton provide prompt attention — so your companion can feel better, faster.
Urgent Care vs. Emergency Care
It’s important to understand the difference between urgent care and emergency veterinary care so you can get your pet the right help at the right time.
Urgent Care
Urgent care is appropriate when your pet’s condition is uncomfortable or worsening but not immediately life-threatening. Examples include mild injuries, persistent coughing, or gastrointestinal issues. Our team can provide prompt attention during regular business hours, helping your pet recover quickly and avoid complications.
Emergency Care
Emergency care, on the other hand, is for critical, life-threatening situations that require 24/7, intensive intervention — such as major trauma, severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, seizures, or collapse.
We maintain close partnerships with LeadER in Boca Raton, VEG in Boynton Beach, and ACCESS Specialty Animal Hospital in Royal Palm Beach for specialty and emergency care.
Pet Medical Center of Boca Raton is not a 24-hour emergency hospital, but we provide urgent medical support during our regular operating hours. Whether it’s a sudden limp, vomiting, or a minor wound, our urgent care vet team is here to assess, treat, and comfort your pet with expert care and compassion.
What is Pet Urgent Care?
Pet urgent care bridges the gap between routine checkups and emergency treatment. It’s designed for situations that require same-day medical attention but aren’t immediately life-threatening. At Pet Medical Center of Boca Raton, we’re equipped to handle a wide range of urgent conditions to address your pet’s issue and stabilize them right away.
We strongly recommend contacting us for pet urgent care in Boca Raton, FL, if your companion is exhibiting any of the following symptoms:
- Ear or eye infections
- Allergic reactions or mild swelling
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Limping or minor injuries
- Coughing, sneezing, or breathing concerns

- Pain or discomfort
Our experienced urgent care vets use advanced diagnostic tools — including laboratory testing, digital radiology, and ultrasound — to quickly identify the issue and begin appropriate treatment.
