How much does injury treatment cost, and how long does it take?
The cost depends on the injury and whether your pet needs X-rays, stitches, bandaging, or surgery. LocalVet Urgent Care offers affordable, transparent pricing, and we explain costs before treatment. Call (479) 332-4999 for more information.
How should I care for my pet’s injury before and after the visit?
Before your visit, apply gentle pressure to bleeding with a clean cloth and keep your pet calm and still. Don’t give human pain medications, which can be dangerous for pets. After treatment, follow our home-care instructions and call (479) 332-4999 with any concerns.
Can a small wound or bite heal on its own?
Small puncture wounds, especially bites, can look minor while bacteria are trapped under the skin, which can lead to infection or an abscess. It’s best to have any bite or deep wound examined by a veterinarian.
