What Is Urgent Care for Pets?
Urgent care is a little bit different from emergency care. While emergency care requires immediate and often intensive treatment and hospitalization, urgent care addresses potentially serious, but not life-threatening medical situations.
Frontier Veterinary Urgent Care exists to support and bridge the gap between general practices and emergency hospitals, so more pets can get the care they need. By providing the highest-quality urgent care in the Milwaukee region, we are able to help more pets stay healthy while also relieving some of the strain experienced by general and emergency animal hospitals.
If you think your pet might need urgent care, call us right away at (262) 226-2055.
If your dog or cat is experiencing any of the following conditions, they should see our team for an exam and treatment as soon as possible.
