Pet Urgent and Emergency Care
When your pet needs immediate care, you shouldn’t have to wait hours—or pay excessive fees—to get help. At PetCentre Animal Hospital, we offer responsive, high-quality emergency vet services for pets in Manassas, VA, and surrounding communities—quickly, comfortably, and without the emergency clinic price tag.
What Qualifies as a Pet Emergency?
Not every emergency comes with dramatic symptoms—but prompt care can make all the difference. If your pet is experiencing any of the following, it’s time to seek immediate veterinary attention:
- Trouble breathing or collapse
- Severe vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of dehydration
- Bleeding that doesn’t stop within a few minutes
- Broken bones or visible injuries
- Ingestion of toxic substances (chocolate, medications, plants, etc.)
- Heatstroke, seizures, or unresponsiveness
- Difficulty urinating or straining
- Swollen abdomen or signs of bloat
- Sudden behavior changes or extreme lethargy
If you’re unsure whether your pet needs emergency vet care, don’t hesitate to call us—we’ll help you determine next steps and prepare our team for your arrival. Whether your dog was injured, your cat is suddenly ill, or your pet just “isn’t acting right,” we’re here to help.
What to Expect During a Pet Emergency Visit
- Immediate triage to evaluate the urgency of your pet’s condition
- Stabilization for critical patients
- In-house digital imaging, blood testing, and other veterinary diagnostics
- Pain management, IV fluids, oxygen therapy, or wound treatment as needed
- Transparent communication about your pet’s condition, treatment plan, and costs
We understand how stressful emergencies can be. That’s why we keep you informed throughout the process and provide thoughtful guidance on aftercare or further treatment options.
The PetCentre Difference: Emergency Care without Emergency Fees
Unlike most emergency clinics, we don’t charge additional urgent care fees. And because we’re just two miles from a local referral emergency hospital, where the wait time can be 6+ hours, we’re often the faster, more affordable choice.
We’re able to manage a wide variety of urgent conditions in-house, including soft tissue injuries, minor trauma, toxin ingestion, gastrointestinal distress, and post-operative complications. If your pet requires advanced specialty care, we’ll coordinate referral support without delay.
Benefits of Choosing PetCentre for Urgent Care:
- No emergency fee
- Shorter wait times compared to local ER hospitals
- Experienced medical team trained in emergency response
- On-site diagnostics and imaging
- Same-day stabilization and hospitalization when needed
- Follow-up care from the team who already knows your pet
From minor injuries to more serious concerns, we’re prepared to care for your pet with urgency, empathy, and medical expertise.
Rapid Care You Can Count On
When every minute matters, you need a veterinary team that’s calm under pressure and prepared to act fast. Our emergency vets provide immediate, skilled care without the added burden of specialty clinic pricing.
We’re proud to be the trusted choice for urgent pet care throughout the greater Manassas region, helping pet owners act quickly and confidently when their companion needs it most.
