Urgent Care Services at Tufts VETS
Urgent care has become a convenient, and efficient, option for pet families that do not need the full services of a busy ER but who cannot get an urgent appointment with their family veterinarian. Tufts VETS Urgent Care will make you feel fully supported with a team of specialists on site, backed by the trusted Tufts name. If your pet is assessed by our team and they determine the need for hospitalization, or surgery, our Urgent Care team will facilitate transfer for you. The Service is housed within the full-service hospital and thus you can feel comfortable that diagnostics and treatments are available, at all times.
