A sudden illness or injury can leave you wondering how quickly your pet needs care. TotalBond Veterinary Hospital at Bethel provides urgent pet care for dogs and cats during regular business hours.

When Should You Seek Urgent Care?

Your pet may need urgent veterinary care for:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Straining to urinate or blood in the urine, especially in cats
- Crying out while using the litter box
- Suspected toxin or food poisoning exposure
- Sudden limping or lameness
- Ear or skin infections
- Allergic reactions
- Loss of appetite
- Heat stroke
- New lumps or bumps
- Sudden eye redness or squinting

Emergency Care and Referrals
Many urgent conditions can be managed right here at TotalBond Veterinary Hospital at Bethel. However, some pets need advanced, around-the-clock critical care that only a 24-hour emergency hospital can provide, such as severe trauma, breathing distress, or other life-threatening situations.
If you're ever unsure where your pet should go, give us a call. We'll help you determine the safest option and, if needed, point you toward the right emergency facility right away.
Walk-Ins and Same-Day Appointments
Illnesses and injuries do not always happen at convenient times. TotalBond Veterinary Hospital at Bethel offers same-day urgent care visits and welcomes walk-ins during regular business hours. Calling before you arrive is strongly recommended. Advance notice allows us to learn about your pet’s symptoms, prepare for the visit, and let you know if a 24-hour emergency facility would be more appropriate.
Urgent patients are assessed according to medical need. A pet with a life-threatening condition may need to be seen before a pet whose condition is stable. Our team will keep you informed and work to provide care as efficiently as possible.
What to Expect During Your Visit
When you arrive for an urgent care visit:
- Your pet will be checked in and taken to an exam room.
- A veterinary technician will gather details and check your pet's condition.
- A veterinarian will perform a full exam and talk through your concerns.
- Any needed diagnostics or treatment options will be recommended.
- You'll leave with a clear treatment plan and follow-up instructions.
Our goal is to keep your pet comfortable and you informed throughout the visit.
After-Hours Emergency Care
In the event of an emergency visit, it is recommended that you call ahead at 803-831-1318. This will ensure that we are ready to treat your pet as quickly and efficiently as possible. If your emergency is taking place after hours, please do not wait to get help.
