Urgent Cases: Call Ahead for Efficient Care

We welcome walk-ins for pet urgent care, but as this depends on availability we recommend calling ahead

  • Be Received Immediately:  Calling ahead allows us to prepare so that we can accommodate your pet as soon as you arrive.
  • Save Time: Due to varying demands at our clinics, some may have longer wait times. A quick call enables us to direct you to a clinic with the shortest wait time, ensuring prompt attention to your pet.
  • Specialist Matching:  While all Sploot clinics are fully equipped for emergencies, some pet urgent care cases may require specialized care. By calling in advance, we can guide you to the clinic with the right specialist for your pet's specific needs.

At Sploot, we understand that emergencies are unpredictable and often occur at the most inconvenient times. That's why we offer an Urgent Intake (drop-off) service, designed to provide immediate, expert care for your pet during urgent situations.

  • Quick and Secure Drop-Off: In an urgent case or emergency, call us and bring your pet to our clinic. We ensure a swift and safe drop-off, immediately prioritizing your pet's needs from the moment you arrive.
  • Thorough and Prompt Expert Assessment: Upon arrival, our medical team conducts a comprehensive evaluation to understand and prioritize your pet's condition, guiding our immediate care approach.
  • Comprehensive Care and Communication: We provide continuous medical supervision for your pet's safety and comfort.

WHY PET PARENTS LOVE SPLOOT

Erica N.

"What a great experience! We were floored with our first visit. A refreshingly modern and pup-first approach to pet care. Dr Jake was a dog whisperer in getting our sometimes (okay always) ornery Bernedoodle to relax for a shot...The digital scheduling and billing makes logistics a cinch- will be recommending Sploot to all of our pup Scout’s friends!"

Adam K.

"The most friendly staff, beautiful facilities, I know that my labradoodle is in the best hands!"

Samantha M.

My pup Theo had a great experience at Sploot!  Dr. Alexa and Dr. Jake were super nice and put Theo at ease right away (he doesn't love vets).  Their convenient hours made it incredibly easy for me to go after work - and plus, the beautifully designed clinic made going to the vet a totally different experience for me and Theo!  He really enjoyed choosing from the treat / toy / sunglasses bar and walked away a happy pup.

Sploot Vet is truly a place like no other!!! You walk in and instantly feel welcomed and know your very special fur baby is in the best place with the best care. Every one of the staff members are extremely friendly and welcoming. Our little fur baby even got to walk a way with her tail wagging...Highly recommend taking your pet here!

Alli

I took my 5 year old bullmastiff, Kit, to Sploot...Kit has a tendency to be a bit shy at the vet but Dr. Alexa went above and beyond to win Kit's love with lots of treats and incredible kindness. The atmosphere in Sploot is unlike any clinic I have visited before. The entire hospital is immaculate and the staff are super friendly. I will be returning to Sploot for all my veterinary needs!

Chase P.

"Amazing care and team. They could not be more helpful and attentive to our puppy and our needs! So happy we found them"

"Love this addition the Highlands. I had an easy booking experience and felt that they really cared about my dog."
