Compassionate Urgent Care for Pets
Pet urgent care bridges the gap between routine veterinary visits and full emergency services. Our Idaho Falls urgent care team is trained to quickly evaluate and treat a wide range of non-critical conditions, helping your pet get the relief they need while preventing more serious complications.
We commonly treat:

- Limping or sudden lameness
- Ear infections
- Eye injuries or irritation
- Mild respiratory issues
- Pain or discomfort without collapse
Viking Veterinary Hospital provides around-the-clock urgent care vet services for those unexpected issues that simply can’t wait for a regular appointment. With advanced diagnostic tools onsite, our veterinarians can diagnose the problem quickly and develop an effective treatment plan for your peace of mind.
When Does My Pet Need Urgent Care?
If you believe something is wrong or “off” with your pet, it’s wise to treat the issue right away, even if you’re not positive if it’s serious. It’s always better to be too careful when it comes to pet safety, and we’d always prefer to treat a case that turns out to be non-severe than for your pet not to be seen at all.
That said, many specific veterinary issues require fast treatment. Seek urgent care services immediately if you notice any of the following symptoms:
Bleeding
Any wound that cannot be easily closed up with a bandage requires immediate veterinary care.
Consumption of Toxins or Foreign Objects
If you know your dog or cat swallowed something like rat poison, a sock, or other objects, do not hesitate to bring him or her in. We can often avoid a crisis by inducing vomiting and saving your pet from costly surgery.
Convulsions and Seizures
These are symptoms of potentially serious health issues. Please bring your pet to see us right away.
Pain
If your pet seems uncomfortable, lethargic, or disoriented, he or she may be in serious pain.
Trauma
Swelling, bite wounds, and lacerations all require immediate care.
Vomiting or Diarrhea
If your dog or cat cannot keep food down or is suddenly and repeatedly ill, they need our immediate care.
These aren’t the only life-threatening issues that your pet could face; they’re just examples to give you an idea of what to expect. If you’re unsure, take the safe route and come in right away.
What to Expect from Pet Urgent Care
Immediate evaluation upon arrival, on-site lab work, radiology, and ultrasound for quick diagnosis, prompt pain relief and supportive care, clear communication, and customized treatment plans and seamless coordination with our 24/7 emergency and specialty services if escalation is needed.
