Urgent Care Open 7-Days a Week
We are not accepting new exotic clients at this time.
If you are experiencing an emergency or serious issue involving the health of your pet, please contact our staff at Art City Vets immediately. We prefer a call in advance if possible for walk-ins during general practice hours.

Monday – Friday: 8am-7pm, lobby open until 8pm
Saturday: 8am-5pm, lobby open until 6pm
Sunday: 8am-3pm, lobby open until 4pm
What to expect when I come to Urgent Care:
-
After you check in at reception, you will receive a call from our medical staff at (215)-563-8387 to obtain a history.
-
Once a doctor is ready for the exam, medical staff will come out and bring your pet back to treatment.
-
Once your pet is back in treatment, you are welcome to wait in the lobby or within 5-10 mins of the building. Please keep your phone's ring on high volume so you don't miss a call from our medical staff. This is how we will stay in contact with you about your pet.
Wait time can very due to emergency cases.
