Care When Your Pet Needs It Most
When your pet suddenly isn't feeling well, every minute matters. At Vetopia Animal Health, we're here to help with same-day urgent care appointments—because when your furry family member isn’t acting like themselves, you shouldn’t have to wait for answers.
If your pet is sick, injured, or just “not right,” call us first. We’ll help assess the situation and get you scheduled as quickly as possible so your pet can get the care they need—without unnecessary delays or stress.
Same-Day Urgent Care Appointments
We keep openings each day for urgent needs because we know life with pets doesn’t always go as planned. Whether it’s a sudden illness or an unexpected injury, our experienced team is ready to jump in with fast, compassionate care and clear communication.
There are many common urgent care concerns our team can care for, including:
- Ear infections
- Limping or difficulty walking
- Wounds or active bleeding
- Vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of GI distress
- Bloat or a bloated stomach (a true emergency)
- Trouble breathing or respiratory distress
- Allergic reactions (bee stings, insect bites, hives, swelling)
- Lethargy or general “off” behavior
You know your pet best. If something doesn’t seem right, don’t wait. Give us a call.
Helping You Find the Care Your Pet Needs
Our team is equipped to handle a wide range of urgent and emergency cases right here in our clinic. However, your pet’s safety always comes first. If we believe your pet needs overnight hospitalization, specialized care, or more intensive monitoring, we won’t hesitate to recommend a transfer to a trusted emergency facility nearby.
We’re fortunate to have several excellent emergency and specialty hospitals within the city of Chattanooga, and we’ll work with you to ensure a smooth and immediate referral if needed.
After-Hours Emergencies
While we are not a 24-hour emergency facility, we will always guide you toward the best care for your pet—even if that means referring you elsewhere. If your pet experiences an emergency after hours, please contact one of the local emergency referral centers listed below.

Why Calling First Matters
We ask that you always call us before coming in for urgent care. This allows our team to provide exceptional care even before you arrive:
- Prepare for your arrival
- Ensure we have a team ready and available
- Give you guidance on next steps if it’s something more time-sensitive
Even if it’s not clear whether your pet needs to be seen right away, we’re happy to talk it through and help you make the best decision.
