Urgent Vet Care in Wilton, NY

Some health concerns need prompt veterinary attention but may not require a trip to a 24-hour emergency hospital. Saratoga Veterinary Hospital provides urgent vet care in Wilton, NY during our regular office hours for pets experiencing sudden illnesses, injuries, or changes in their condition.

Urgent care needs can range from a new limp or ear infection to vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, eye problems, or a wound that should be examined soon. Because the severity of a pet’s condition is not always easy to determine at home, we encourage you to call our team at (518) 583-2731 if you are unsure how quickly your pet should be seen.

Current clients should call before arriving whenever possible so our veterinary team can discuss your pet’s symptoms and prepare for their visit. Non-clients must call in advance before coming to the hospital.
