Pet Urgent Care in Fayetteville, AR
When your pet needs urgent medical attention, LocalVet Urgent Care in Fayetteville, AR, can provide prompt and compassionate care. Our experienced veterinarians are here to help your pet feel better and get back to their normal self as soon as possible.
Understanding Pet Urgent Care
Urgent care fills the gap between a routine visit with your primary veterinarian and a life-threatening emergency. At LocalVet Urgent Care, we offer a wide range of urgent care services to address a variety of pet health issues. Whether your pet has ingested something toxic, is experiencing vomiting, dehydration, diarrhea, eye problems, fever, anal-gland issues, or needs stabilizing treatment for an injury or illness, our team is here to help. Many pet owners aren’t sure whether a problem is “urgent enough” to be seen; if your pet is uncomfortable or something doesn’t seem right, we would rather see them today than have you wait. We understand that pet health problems can happen at any time. That’s why we offer extended evening and weekend hours, and we welcome walk-ins, so your pet can receive the care they need when they need it.
What to Expect During Pet Urgent Care
Our team is dedicated to making every urgent care visit at our Fayetteville clinic as quick, clear, and comfortable as possible.
Arrival and Check-In
Walk in during business hours, or use our Same Day Check-In before you arrive so our team can get ready for you. Once you arrive, you will be greeted and your pet’s information will be recorded.
Examination and Diagnostics
Your veterinarian will discuss your pet’s history and symptoms, perform a thorough examination, and recommend diagnostics such as bloodwork or X-rays when they are needed to find the cause of the problem.
Treatment and Relief
From fluid therapy for dehydration to medications for vomiting, diarrhea, eye problems, or fever, we start treatment right away and keep you informed about every step and every cost.
Going Home and Follow-Up
You’ll leave with clear home-care instructions, and your pet’s medical records are sent to your primary veterinarian the same day so their regular care continues without a gap.
Why Pet Urgent Care is Important for Your Pet
Many health problems that start small can become serious if they are left untreated. Prompt urgent care helps your pet feel better sooner and can prevent a minor problem from becoming an emergency.
Faster Relief
Vomiting, diarrhea, pain, and itching are miserable for pets. Same-day treatment eases discomfort without waiting days for an appointment.
Preventing Complications
Dehydration, eye injuries, and toxin ingestion can worsen quickly. Early care protects your pet’s health, vision, and comfort.
Peace of Mind
When you aren’t sure how serious a problem is, an exam gives you answers and a plan, so you can stop worrying and start helping your pet recover.
Signs Your Pet May Need Urgent Care
If you notice any of the signs below, bring your pet to LocalVet Urgent Care for a same-day evaluation.
- Vomiting or diarrhea that continues or contains blood
- Eating something toxic, such as medications, chocolate, or plants
- Red, swollen, squinting, or cloudy eyes
- Not eating or drinking, or acting lethargic
- Scooting, licking under the tail, or other anal-gland discomfort
If your pet is having trouble breathing, has collapsed, or is bleeding heavily, call us at (479) 332-4999 and come in immediately.
How Often Should Your Pet Receive Urgent Care?
Urgent care is not a routine service; your pet only needs it when a new or sudden health problem comes up. Your primary veterinarian remains the best place for wellness exams and vaccines, and we work alongside them by sharing your pet’s records after every visit. Keep our number handy for evenings, weekends, and holidays, when your regular clinic may be closed. If you’re ever unsure whether your pet needs to be seen, call us and our team will help you decide.

Pet Urgent Care: Frequently Asked Questions
What is pet urgent care, and how is it different from my regular vet?
Urgent care treats sudden illnesses and injuries that need attention the same day, such as vomiting, diarrhea, eye problems, or toxin ingestion. Your primary veterinarian handles wellness and preventive care, and we send them your pet’s records the same day you visit. Questions? Call (479) 332-4999.
How much does an urgent care visit cost, and how long does it take?
Costs depend on your pet’s exam and any diagnostics or treatments they need. LocalVet Urgent Care is priced lower than other urgent and emergency clinics in the area, and we explain costs before treatment. Visit length depends on how busy we are and what your pet needs. Call (479) 332-4999 with questions.
How should I prepare for my pet’s urgent care visit?
Fill out our Same Day Check-In form before you arrive, bring any medications or packaging your pet may have eaten, and bring past records if you have them. Keep dogs on a leash and cats in a carrier. If your pet’s condition worsens on the way, call us at (479) 332-4999.
What conditions can urgent care treat?
We treat toxic or poison ingestion, vomiting, dehydration, diarrhea, eye problems, fever, anal-gland issues, allergies, injuries, and more, and we provide stabilizing treatment for severe illness. If your pet needs surgery, our team can perform many emergency surgeries in our Fayetteville clinic.
