Urgent Care by Pawprints

I have been in the unfortunate position to have to take our elderly cat (Pumpkin) in for treatment two times over the past month. Both times we were greeted by the pleasant office staff, and processed quickly to the nicely spread out waiting area. Because this urgent care center, like all urgent care centers is first come first serve, no appointments, so I expected fully to wait my turn. Thankfully, both times I went, there was only one other animal needing attention before mine. We were so grateful for that! I’m sure there are times they are very busy, and other times not so much, so you have to go expecting to wait your turn. We were taken back to a exam room, seen immediately by an extremely experienced veterinarian technician who was very confident i. handling our animal, and we had no reservations at all about her taking him back for a weight and temperature, giving antibiotics etc. During our two visits, we saw two different veterinarians, and both were absolutely wonderful. They were compassionate, and thorough. I don’t know if everyone understands how lucky we are to have such a qualified urgent care center right here in Lynchburg, who will see sick animals during the week without an appointment, but our family sure does! I feel incredibly blessed to have their service and I am sure we will be needing it again in the near future. Highly recommend!

A fantastic place to bring your pet and they take walk-ins! My 11.5 yr old boxer was very sick and no other vet would take him or was able to fit him in. We didn't wait too long for as busy as they were and it was well worth it! Fair pricing and they truly care for you and your pet. Unfortunately I faced the choice to put my baby boy down because they found a mass in his stomach that no other place did. They were the kindest most compassionate vet I have EVER been to. I would travel hours to make sure my future pets see them. Thank you all so very much for the before and AFTER care of my precious boy. You all made a very difficult time better. Not even sure thank you is enough.

What a blessing! Dr. Hoss came to our home to help our 15 year old corgi cross the "rainbow bridge". They were so compassionate, knowledgeable, and caring. What an incredible experience for us and such a calm, relaxed, and comfortable way for our sweet Raja to leave us...many, many thanks. I cannot recommend their services enough!!!

My dog had been having diarrhea for several days and his vet couldn’t get him in for a WEEK! I was terrified of going to an urgent care as I expected it to be super expensive and probably not an overall great experience. I was very wrong. The staff was fantastic. Kept me updated on wait times. Super friendly. When it was our turn, they worked super quickly and got us out as fast as they could while still doing a thorough job. I left with an all meds needed for my dog, and at a VERY fair price. I wish they would open a vet office because I would 100% use them for check ups! If we ever need urgent vet care again, we’ll know where to go.

I can’t say enough good things about this office and its staff. My 5 month old puppy cut the tip of his tail and needed to have it removed. It was a busy evening when we arrived with more critical fur babies than mine. Dr. Gallagher and her amazing staff, from the front desk to the vet techs went above and beyond and stayed late to do surgery to make sure my baby was taken care of. If you find yourself in need of emergency veterinary care, I recommend you come see them. Your fur baby will be in excellent hands.
