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!"

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!

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!

What is the process for an urgent pet care or sick visit?

How long will my urgent vet care appointment or sick visit take?

The duration of an urgent care or sick visit can vary based on the condition of the dog or cat and the necessary treatment.

What should I bring with me to my urgent care vet visit?

If you're a Sploot client, we have your pet's medical history on file, so you don't need to bring anything. For new clients, bringing any available medical records is recommended (but not required) for us to treat your pet.

Will my pet need to stay overnight after an urgent care visit?

Whether your pet needs overnight monitoring depends on how severe their condition is. Sploot patients requiring overnight care will be transferred to an emergency hospital.
