When to Choose Urgent Care vs. an ER for Your Pet

Not every medical concern needs a full emergency room — but waiting for a regular vet appointment isn’t always an option. That’s where Swan Harbor Pet Urgent Care steps in.

 Choose Urgent Care For:

• Vomiting or diarrhea

• Ear infections, coughing, sneezing

• Minor injuries or limping

• Eye redness or irritation

• Skin issues, hot spots, itching

• Wound care, dog fights.

• Urgent Care = Serious but Stable: Non-life-threatening issues needing prompt attention usually resolve in one visit. 

 Choose an ER For:

• Difficulty breathing

• Loss of consciousness or seizures

• Major trauma (hit by a car, exposed bones)

• Ingestion of toxic items

• ER = Critical & Unstable: Your pet needs immediate, advanced intervention, possible overnight care, or surgery.

• 24 hour care

Our walk-in model means no appointment stress, just come in, check in, and we’ll help. Swan Harbor Pet Urgent Care is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. Call ahead if you have any questions. 443-869-4104
