Urgent Carefor Pets

When your pet faces an unexpected illness or injury, every second counts. At Out West Veterinary Urgent Care in Little Rock, Arkansas, our experienced veterinary team is here to provide fast, compassionate medical attention when your regular veterinarian is closed.

What Is Veterinary Urgent Care?

Urgent care bridges the gap between daytime general practice and 24-hour emergency hospitals. It’s designed for pets who need prompt medical attention but are not in immediate life-threatening distress.

We specialize in veterinary urgent care for dogs and cats — delivering expert stabilization, diagnostics, and treatment in a calm, welcoming environment. Our goal is to ease your stress, help your pet feel better quickly, and guide you through every step of their care.

Our clinic is equipped to handle a wide range of medical situations — from injuries and allergic reactions to vomiting, collapse, or difficulty breathing. We can diagnose, stabilize, and treat many conditions the same day, ensuring your pet gets the help they need without the chaos or cost of a full emergency hospital.

Critical Care & Stabilization

Fluid Therapy & Oxygen Support

For pets who are dehydrated, struggling to breathe, or in shock, we provide intravenous (IV) fluid therapy and oxygen support. These treatments help maintain hydration, regulate blood pressure, and improve oxygen levels — essential steps in recovery for many urgent conditions.

Hospitalization (Short-Term)

We can hospitalize stable patients for observation and treatment during the day or overnight if appropriate. Our hospital area provides a quiet, temperature-controlled space where pets receive attentive medical care. If extended or 24-hour monitoring is required, we coordinate seamless transfer to a local emergency facility.

Emergency Pet Transport

We maintain a dedicated pet transport unit to ensure safe transfer between Out West Veterinary Urgent Care and referral or specialty hospitals. This service helps maintain continuity of care for pets requiring advanced or ongoing treatment elsewhere.
