Arrow Animal Urgent Care is an urgent care clinic for dogs and cats in Renton, WA. Our compassionate, knowledgeable staff is here to serve your pets daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Urgent Care for Animals
What is urgent care for animals? It’s pretty similar to urgent care for humans—providing outpatient care in a timely manner. After visiting our clinic, we encourage you to follow up with your veterinarian for ongoing management. (Just like you, the human, would be encouraged to follow up with your primary care physician after visiting an urgent care facility.)
Our clinic can provide care for your pet in situations where the problem isn’t critical enough to seek emergency care but you are unable to get an appointment with your primary veterinarian within a couple of days. We do NOT provide any routine wellness or preventive care.
We treat the following issues in dogs and cats:
- limping or pain
- minor lacerations, wounds, or burns
- abscesses
- vomiting and diarrhea
- blood in urine or stool
- cough or upper respiratory infection
- urinary tract infections
- toxin ingestion
- allergic reactions
- eye problems
- ear or skin infections
- scooting or licking
- broken toenails
If you have questions about whether or not your pet’s issue can be treated by our clinic, please give us a call: (425) 270-2991.
For the safety of all animals, if your pet is coughing, or if your puppy is vomiting/has diarrhea, please leave them in the car while checking in. These symptoms are potentially contagious to other pets.
We Do NOT Take Appointments
Our clinic is WALK-IN only, which means that we DO NOT take appointments. Cases are seen in order of arrival. At check-in, our staff usually can assess a pet’s issue that might not be stable or appropriate for our urgent care model; at that point, we will refer you to the emergency room if the pet cannot wait.
Wait times vary on a case-by-case basis and are always evolving. We do not place time limits on patient care, and we will be with you and your pet as soon as possible. You can expect wait times to range anywhere from 2 to 6 hours on any given day. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
We make every effort to update you on wait times—our current estimated wait times are available online or by calling (425) 270-2991. If you feel your pet cannot wait to be seen, please visit the nearest emergency veterinary hospital. We recommend checking ER Vets of Western Washington’s Facebook page, which features the wait times for ER veterinary facilities.
To save time checking in, feel free to print, fill out, and bring with you our patient forms.
Get to Know Us
Arrow Animal Urgent Care opened its doors in January 2022 and is a partnership of long-time friends and veterinary school classmates, Dr. Laurie Wieringa and Dr. Beth Guerra, shown here on a much-deserved vacation. The two doctors recognized a severe need in the Greater Seattle area for pet care: The pandemic has driven a big increase in pet ownership, and along with industry-wide staffing challenges, primary veterinary practices and emergency vet clinics are overloaded. Both doctors have more than 20 years of experience and are truly hoping that this model of urgent care for animals is one that takes off and provides some much-needed relief for other facilities. Learn more about Drs. Guerra and Wieringa as well as the rest of our dedicated team.
