Prompt Care for
Non-Life-Threatening Illnesses and Injuries
Our urgent care service at our Warren Ave location is designed for pets who need to be seen the same day for illnesses or injuries that require prompt attention but are stable and not experiencing a life-threatening emergency. Our current hours are Thursday-Saturday from 12pm-10pm.
If your pet is experiencing a medical emergency, please visit our 24/7 Emergency Department in Falmouth, Maine immediately or call 207-878-3121.
Is Urgent Care Right for Your Pet?
Urgent Care is appropriate for pets who need timely medical attention but are stable enough to wait for an examination. If you’re ever unsure whether your pet should be seen in Urgent Care or the Emergency Room, please call us at 207-878-3121. Our team can help guide you to the most appropriate level of care.

What to Expect
Upon arrival, your pet will be evaluated by our triage team to ensure they are stable for urgent care. Patients are seen based on medical need, so wait times may vary depending on the urgency of all cases currently in the hospital.
After the initial assessment, one of our veterinarians will perform a complete examination, discuss diagnostic and treatment recommendations, and provide an estimate before proceeding with care.
Many urgent care patients are treated and discharged the same day with instructions for follow-up care through their primary care veterinarian. If your pet requires hospitalization, advanced diagnostics, surgery, or specialty care, our team can coordinate a seamless transition within PVESC whenever appropriate.
COMPASSIONATE CARE WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST
When your regular veterinarian isn’t available, you can count on PVESC to provide experienced, compassionate care for your pet. Our urgent care team is here to help you navigate unexpected illnesses and injuries, giving your pet the attention they need while helping you avoid an unnecessary emergency room visit whenever possible.
