What is Veterinary Urgent Care?
Timely care for your pet’s needs
At Fairfax Ridge Animal Hospital, urgent care helps fill the space between routine appointments and emergency services. We offer same-day evaluations and treatment for serious but non-life-threatening concerns. Our team will assess your pet promptly, explain what we’re seeing, and recommend the best plan of care.
Our Diagnostic Capabilities
Fast, reliable diagnostics to support your pet’s care
Our hospital is equipped with modern diagnostic technology to help quickly determine the cause of your pet’s discomfort. From digital X-rays to in-house laboratory testing, we’re able to perform many diagnostic services on-site. This allows us to move forward with appropriate treatment sooner and deliver more precise, effective care for your pet.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Supportive care from start to finish
When you arrive with your pet, our team will promptly evaluate their condition and prioritize care based on medical need. We’ll collect key details about your pet’s symptoms and health history, complete a thorough physical exam, and recommend any necessary diagnostic testing. Throughout your visit, we’ll keep you updated on what we find and review all treatment options with you.
Professional Care in a Calm Environment
Compassionate, low-stress care for you and your pet
Even in urgent situations, we work to maintain a calm, professional setting to help ease stress for both you and your pet. Our medical team will explain your pet’s condition, talk through treatment options, and answer any questions you may have. We take the time to ensure you understand the diagnosis and feel confident in the recommended care plan.
Follow-Up Care
Ongoing support for recovery and continued wellness
After addressing your pet’s immediate needs, we’ll provide clear at-home care and monitoring instructions. If appropriate, we may recommend a follow-up visit to check progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. Our team remains available to answer questions and help address concerns throughout your pet’s recovery.
