Here When You Need Us Most
At Tarrytown Veterinary Clinic, we know that urgent pet needs happen—and we’re here Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. for same-day urgent care during our normal hours. We’re closed evenings and weekends. Call ahead so our team can triage your pet and advise on next steps or a same-day drop-off if appropriate.
Recognizing Urgent Situations
Some situations clearly need immediate attention—obvious injuries, difficulty breathing, or sudden collapse. But other times, it’s that gut feeling that something’s wrong: your normally food-motivated dog refusing breakfast, unusual lethargy that’s out of character, or behavioral changes that have you concerned. Trust your instincts—you know your pet better than anyone.
Common urgent care situations include cuts and wounds, vomiting or diarrhea, eye injuries, difficulty urinating, suspected ingestion of something harmful, or any sudden change in your pet’s normal behavior or appetite. When in doubt, it’s always better to call and check rather than wait and worry.
Prompt, Comprehensive Care
During urgent care visits, our priority is quickly assessing your pet’s condition and providing immediate relief for any pain or distress. We’ll walk you through what we’re seeing, explain our recommended treatment approach, and keep you informed every step of the way—no medical jargon, just clear communication about your pet’s care.
Our team is equipped to handle a wide range of urgent conditions right here in our clinic, from wound care and pain management to diagnostic tests that help us understand what’s happening. If your pet needs specialized care beyond what we can provide, we’ll help coordinate referrals to ensure they get the right treatment.
