Urgent Care vs Emergency Vet: How to Know Where to Go?
Understand when your pet needs urgent veterinary care and when a 24-hour emergency animal hospital is the right choice.
Care When It’s Urgent, Not an Emergency
Pieper Veterinary in Madison, Connecticut provides urgent veterinary care for pets with sudden illnesses, minor injuries, and time-sensitive medical concerns. Open five days a week, our Madison urgent care clinic serves pets from Madison, Guilford, Branford, Clinton, and surrounding shoreline communities with same-day veterinary evaluation and treatment.
As an Urgent Vet Care hospital, we are able to see patients with non-routine, non-critical illnesses and injuries including limps, GI upset, small wounds, urinary infections, torn nails, and more, and can perform diagnostic testing such as bloodwork and x-rays. In the event that a patient requires advanced diagnostics or intensive treatment, we can transfer your case to our Pieper Memorial Middletown 24hr hospital for continued care.
Walk-ins are welcome. You can notify our urgent care team that you and your pet are on your way before you arrive so that we can prepare for your arrival and help keep wait times to a minimum.
FAQs
Do you offer same-day urgent care appointments?

What is considered an urgent care situation for pets?
Urgent care is appropriate when your pet needs prompt attention but is stable. Common urgent symptoms include vomiting or diarrhea, limping, minor wounds, ear infections, coughing, allergic reactions, or sudden behavior changes. Call us with any questions we are here to help.
Can I walk in, or do I need an appointment for urgent care?
Yes, we do accept walk-ins and in many cases, we can accommodate same-day urgent visits. We recommend booking an appointment online or calling ahead so we can prepare for your pet’s arrival and minimize wait time. Our team will guide you on next steps based on your pet’s symptoms.
