The care facility will be open for non-emergency, but time-sensitive walk-in services from 6 p.m. until 2 a.m. every Thursday through Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Arizona continues to experience a veterinarian shortage which has led to longer waits for pet owners seeking medical care, we\u2019re excited to offer a convenient option to bridge the gap,\u201d Arizona Humane\u00a0Society Vice President of Animal Welfare and Medical Services Dr. Melissa Thompson said in a press release.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal is to provide trusted pet care when our community needs it the most, often after they get home from work or on the weekends. Our services are focused on conditions and ailments that cannot wait for a regular appointment with a veterinarian, things like vomiting, ear infections, urinary tract infections, minor wounds and other non-life-threatening, time-sensitive situations.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Arizona\u00a0Humane\u00a0Society is one of only a handful of animal welfare organizations across the country that provides urgent care to animals.<\/p>\n
Should I take my pet to the Arizona Humane Society\u2019s urgent care clinic?<\/p>\n
The Arizona Humane Society\u2019s urgent care facility will only offer services for pets that are owned.<\/p>\n
In addition, animal technicians are only able to address non-life-threatening situations and are unable to address emergency situations.<\/p>\n
For situations involving a medical emergency, there are 14 emergency animal clinics<\/a> located across the Valley.<\/p>\n \u201cPets and their owners deserve timely veterinary care,\u201d Dr. Thompson said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe sooner a pet is seen, the better their chances of healing. When we increase access to care in our community, we help pets get the treatment they need before an illness or injury becomes overwhelming and before families are forced into heartbreaking decisions about whether they can afford to keep their pet.\u201d<\/p>\n According to the , the clinic is able to address the following issues:<\/p>\n Torn toenails Follow @veenstra_david<\/a><\/p>\n We want to hear from you.<\/p>\n Have a story idea or tip?
