We are here for your pet’s urgent needs! Call now for immediate assistance from our trained veterinary staff. We welcome walk-ins and same-day appointments.
Not every pet’s emergency needs to be treated at a Specialty Center or 24-Hour ICU and sometimes your primary care veterinarian is not able to fit you and your pet into their schedule. That is what Horn Lake Animal Hospital and Urgent Care is here for!
We provide comprehensive treatment services and critical care for mild to moderate ailments. We offer the gold standard of veterinary care at the convenience and fast-paced nature your pet deserves.
We are focused on using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to diagnose and treat non-life-threatening conditions. Please look at the table below for some suggestions for when urgent care is appropriate as opposed to emergency services.
