Think of Urgent Care / minor emergency as the bridge between Wellness and Emergency. The same conditions that would send you to these different levels of doctors apply to your pet. Walk-ins are welcome - we triage cases based on their urgency. Give us a call at 206-822-4991 and we can book your spot.

Pets that see our Urgent Care / Minor emergency service are not so sick that they may need to spend the night in the hospital or require specialty care. These patients may need diagnostics (imaging, bloodwork) and even some outpatient supportive care (fluids, medications), but are well enough to go home the same day with their owner.


If you are unsure of which clinic to schedule at, please call us and we are happy to help direct you to where you need to be.

Is it Urgent | Minor Emergency?

  • Wellness Appointments

    BoosterPet offers wellness appointments at all of our neighborhood clinics. Routine veterinary care such as vaccinations, parasite prevention, dental evaluations, ear cleanings, treating allergic skin, etc are examples of wellness appointments. Our technician led appointments offer you convenient and affordable wellness care in your own neighborhood. If you don’t know which type of appointment you should book, just give us a call at 206-822-4991. In most cases, we can get you a same day appointment in one of our neighborhood clinics.

  • Urgent Care / Minor Emergency

    Urgent Care (minor emergency) appointments are available at all of our locations. Click here for hours. These appointments are for pets that are best served with an in-person veterinarian visit but do not have life-threatening conditions. Things like bite wounds, urinating blood, cuts/abrasions, coughing, diarrhea or vomiting, pain or limping are all examples of ideal urgent care appointments. Don’t know which appointment to select? No problem, just give us a call at 206-822-4991 and we will help;)

  • Emergency Care

    BoosterPet does not offer emergency care. Emergency services are needed if your pet is experiencing a life-threatening condition, such as difficulty breathing, seizures, foreign body ingestion, hit by car, broken bones, difficulty delivering puppies/kittens, distended or bloated abdomen, straining to urinate.

Urgent Care (Minor Emergency) Vs Major Emergency Care

  • Urgent Care (Minor Emergency)

    Urgent Care / Minor Emergency exams are ideal for pets who need to be seen by a veterinarian and their condition is not life-threatening and doesn’t require an overnight hospitalization. Walk-ins are welcome or you can schedule a same day appointment online. Urgent care is a great option for pets with minor emergences — appointments are quick and the cost is significantly less than at emergency facilities. We offer urgent care / minor emergency care at all out locations: Renton, Federal Way, Lake Stevens, Kirkland, Puyallup, Bonney Lake, Gig Harbor.

    It’s similar to when you would choose a human urgent care over the emergency room. Some common ailments seen in Urgent Care are:

    Vomiting or diarrhea

    Change in urination

    Limping

    Lethargy (pet seems a bit “off”)

    Coughing or sneezing

    Itchy skin

    Ear infection

    Bite wounds

    Laceration repair

    Squinting

    Hives / rash

    Something seems “not quite right”

  • Major Emergency Care (Not Provided)

    Major Emergency Care is for pets who have a life-threatening condition and/or require overnight hospitalization. We know these days that veterinary ERs are really busy and need to concentrate their efforts on their most sick patients. Therefore, it’s important that pets make it to the correct place (ie Urgent Care vs Emergency).

    If you have any questions about where your pet should be seen, call us at 206-822-4991 or you can also call your local animal ER. Conditions which are best treated through an animal ER are:

    Non-ambulatory (can’t walk or needs a lot of assistance to stand)

    Seizures

    Difficulty breathing

    Large trauma, such as hit by a car

    Vomiting blood

    Broken bone(s)

    Distended abdomen

    Cannot urinate (especially male cats)
