What is UrgentVet? Think of us like urgent care for pets. 🐾

In human healthcare, you see your regular doctor for wellness visits and planned procedures, and you go to the ER when it’s life-threatening. For everything in between, you visit urgent care.

The same applies to veterinary care! Pets visit their regular vet for checkups and vaccinations, and the emergency vet for serious, life-threatening issues. We’re here for everything in between—like cuts, bites, itching, diarrhea, vomiting, limping, scooting, and more.

Save your spot online or just walk in. We’re open weekdays 3 PM to 11 PM and weekends 10 AM to 8 PM.

Did you know that at UrgentVet, you can have your pet hospitalized so he can receive IV fluids? Boss pictured here was brought in after his owners noticed something was not right. After Dr M did her exam from nose-to-tail, she noticed symptoms that were similar to what THC toxicity looks like. His care team members did an in-house drug test and the test came out positive for THC. Dr M recommended he'd be hospitalized so he can receive some IV fluids to flush this out of his system. He was also administered an anti nausea injection to prevent him from aspirating. He received lots of belly rubs and was kept in a quiet environment up until his owner came and picked him up. We hope you are feeling better, Boss! ❤️

With the heat still in full swing, remember that our furry friends feel it too! Walking your dog in hot weather can lead to heatstroke and other injuries. Here's why: Concrete and asphalt retain heat, making it much hotter for your pet, and these surfaces can burn their paw pads. When it’s above 80-85 degrees, it’s best to walk your dog in the early morning or at dusk. If that’s not possible, keep walks short and stay on the grass. Always provide plenty of water and watch for signs of heatstroke, such as excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, and confusion. If you notice any of these, bring your pet to us right away.

Look what we spotted! 🔬 Ear mites!!! Ear mites cause itchiness and discomfort in pets ears. Here are 3 key facts to keep in mind: 🦠Where They Come From: Ear mites are parasites that live in your pet's ear canal. They thrive in the warm, moist environment. 🦠Reproduction: These microscopic 🔬 parasites reproduce rapidly. A female ear mite can lay thousands of eggs, leading to rapid infestations. 🦠How They're Contracted: Ear mites are highly contagious and can be transmitted from pet to pet through close contact, including our hands and clothes if we pet infected animals. Cats, dogs, and even rabbits can be affected. Not to worry, ear mites are easily treated with commonly-used parasite preventatives. Preventatives offer protection and peace of mind against a variety of parasites, including those pesky ear mites. Keep your furry friends’ ears happy and itch-free! #themoreyouknow #veterinarymedicine #earmites #parasites #microscope #prevention #urgentvet #urgentvetwheatridge #yourpetcantwaittofeelbetter #colorado #denver #vetmed #coloradopets #wishmeluckonmyrecovery
