Urgent Care When Your Pet Needs It

Same-day appointments for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries.

What We Treat

Our urgent care services are designed for pets who need prompt attention but are stable.

We commonly treat:

  • Vomiting or diarrhea (without collapse)
  • Limping or minor injuries
  • Ear infections
  • Skin issues or allergic reactions
  • Minor wounds
  • Painful but stable conditions

If your pet is uncomfortable but alert and stable, we can help.

Española Humane Animal Clinic requires that all pets be spayed or neutered to receive services at our clinic. If your pet is not yet altered and requires urgent care, we are happy to offer a one-time exception. For any future visits, your pet will need to be spayed or neutered. Exceptions to this policy include pets under 6 months of age, large-breed dogs who are not yet fully developed, and pets over 8 years of age who may have increased anesthetic risk.

What We Do Not Treat

We do not provide emergency or 24-hour critical care.

Seek emergency veterinary care immediately if your pet is experiencing:

  • Difficulty breathing
  • Severe trauma or major bleeding
  • Active seizures
  • Collapse or unconsciousness
  • Suspected poisoning
  • Bloat

These conditions require advanced monitoring and emergency facilities.
