Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between urgent care and emergency veterinary care?
Urgent care is for pets who are in stable condition but need same-day or next-day medical attention — situations that are serious but not immediately life-threatening. Emergency care is for pets who are critically ill, have life-threatening injuries, or need intensive care. For true emergencies after hours, we refer to Oklahoma Veterinary Specialists (OVS) in Tulsa, a 24-hour specialty and critical care hospital.
Do I need an appointment for urgent care at Arrowhead?
We recommend calling us first at (918) 534-1958 so we can assess the situation and schedule you as quickly as possible. This helps us prepare for your pet’s arrival and ensure the fastest possible care. Walk-ins are evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on current availability and the severity of your pet’s condition.
What diagnostics are available for urgent care patients?
Our clinic is equipped with digital radiography (X-ray), point-of-care ultrasound, and a full in-house laboratory for blood work, urinalysis, and other testing. These tools allow our doctors to diagnose and begin treating your pet’s condition quickly, often during the same visit.
My pet ate something toxic. What should I do?
Call us immediately at (918) 534-1958. If we are closed, contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435 (a consultation fee may apply) or the Pet Poison Helpline. Common toxins for pets include chocolate, xylitol, grapes and raisins, onions, antifreeze, and rodent poison. Time is critical in toxin ingestion cases.
Are you open on weekends for urgent care?
Yes. We are open seven days a week, Monday through Sunday, from 7:30am to 5:30pm, including weekends. For after-hours emergencies, please visit our After Hours page for information on Oklahoma Veterinary Specialists, our trusted emergency referral partner in Tulsa.
Can you see cats for urgent care as well as dogs?
Yes. We provide urgent care services for both dogs and cats. If you have an exotic pet in need of urgent care, please call us first at (918) 534-1958 so we can advise you on whether we are able to treat your specific species and the best next steps.
What payment options are available for urgent care visits?
