About North Sound Veterinary Urgent Care
Some pet issues can’t wait for a regular appointment — but they don’t always require an ER visit either. North Sound Veterinary Urgent Care offers prompt, same-day care for minor injuries and illnesses, so your pet gets help without the long emergency room delays.
Our online scheduling lets you wait at home, not in a stuffy waiting room. By limiting our scope to stable, non-life-threatening conditions, we can stay on schedule and offer more affordable care than a traditional ER. When a case is beyond our scope, we’ll quickly refer you to the appropriate emergency hospital.

Parking
Our facility has angled and parallel street parking available. We also have parking in the rear. Since the street parking is frequently full, please see the following map of other places you may park (highlighted in green). Do not park in numbered or reserved stalls as you may be ticketed or towed.
Estimates & Payments
If requested, we will provide you with an estimate. Payment is due at the time of service. At this time, we only accept debit and credit cards. We do not accept cash or checks.
Pet Behavior & Demeanor
Due to the limited scope of practice offered at our facility, we are not equipped with the sedation and monitoring equipment needed to treat aggressive or fractious pets. If you know your pet has a hard time at the vet, we kindly ask that you schedule an appointment with your primary veterinarian or visit an emergency clinic that can appropriately sedate your pet.
Emergency Services
Our hospital does not offer emergency services. We are not equipped to treat life-threatening emergencies. If your pet is suffering a life-threatening emergency, please go to the nearest emergency hospital right away.
