Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing

We've taken our cat in a couple times and have had excellent care. The staff from front desk, techs and the Dr have been helpful, kind, understanding and knowledgeable. I would recommend anyone to bring their pet family members here, they will be well taken care of.

I brought in my elderly cat who woke screaming. The staff was very kind, sedated him so he could be examined. The vet showed me exactly what was happening and the prognosis. Sadly, my cat needed to be euthanized. I had time to sit with him while waiting for my son and his wife to come and sit with us. I held my cat and spoke to him as he quietly passed away. I wanted to take him home with me, and he was put in a box with a small crocheted blanket a lady made for just this kind of situation. It was really the best way this could have happened. Nice people there! I appreciated them and their work.... I had taken him to our regular vet two day before who found a mass and took samples. My cat seemed in good health and was bouncy as could be from Thursday to Saturday. Sunday was when he woke in distress. My vet had the results of his condition on Monday, tumor originated in the pancreas. It would have been a horrible condition. I am so grateful the only pain he had was Sunday morning. He was my husband's companion cat....

All praise to the Most High and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. On 2/20 my dog started showing signs of poisoning. Someone fed him rat poison or left it carelessly. In a couple of hours he was entering a coma. We went to two different hospitals and my bf called here and they accepted him ASAP. Dr. Musa ran tests and started plasma treatment, everything was in house and their equipment and lab results are amazing. My dog walked out of there the same day and we were given through instructions on vitamin k treatment. They’re continuing to monitor his progress but he’s doing so much better now and his old puppy self again. God bless the staff here who showed my dog true and genuine love and who saved his life! Their prices are also incredibly fair and worth it for their quick lab results and lifesaving treatment!

Special Thanks to Dr. Musa and his staff at the Animal Urgent Care tonight!! My dog got bit by a rattlesnake and I had no emergency clinics nearby so drove an hour as they said they'd see me. Very quick to take him back, kept us updated on his status, and he looked a lot better after the anti-venum and fluids. *update* 2 days later and Colt is doing way better! He had quite the swollen face yesterday and didn't want to eat. Was also limping some on the bite side. Tonight he's less swollen and wanted to eat! Thanks Again So Much!!

So thankful to have found this animal hospital. Our dog was having issues at 10 pm, luckily we found dr musa and his team here. They were all very kind, and we were in and out before we knew it! Highly recommend this place for after hour visits!
