Hospitalization & Urgent Care
When pets are sick, injured, or not acting like themselves, timely care can make all the difference.
Hometown Pet Vet provides urgent care support and hospitalization during regular business hours for pets who need closer monitoring, treatment, or extra attention from our team.
Urgent Care During Regular Business Hours
Some concerns cannot wait for a routine visit.
If your pet is vomiting, limping, not eating, painful, unusually tired, coughing, injured, or acting differently than normal, please call or text us for guidance.
Our team can help determine whether your pet should be seen and what the best next step may be.

Hospitalization and Monitoring
Some pets need closer support.
Some pets need more support than an outpatient visit can provide. During regular business hours, hospitalization may be recommended when a pet needs closer observation, treatment, medication support, fluids, or continued monitoring.
We will discuss your pet's needs, explain what level of care is recommended, and keep you informed about their progress.

Urgent care and emergency care are not always the same.

Seek emergency care right away if your pet is having trouble breathing, collapsing, bleeding heavily, having seizures, unable to stand, or showing signs of severe distress.
After-hours emergencies
For life-threatening emergencies or after-hours concerns, please contact an emergency veterinary hospital right away.
