Urgent Care in Waltham

In addition to our Emergency and Critical Care service at our Waltham location, we are pleased to offer an Urgent Care service for dogs and cats at our MSPCA-Angell West location in Waltham. Clients can call up to one day in advance to book an Urgent Care appointment. Our team can help clients discern if their animal’s condition is an Urgent Care or Emergency case. Urgent care for exotic animals is also available through our Avian and Exotic service in Waltham.

Established to treat less critical cases when appropriate staff is scheduled, this is an appointment-based service, not a walk-in service.

Afternoon and evening appointments for dogs and cats are available Monday through Friday, 8am-6pm by calling 781-902-8400. Urgent care appointments for exotic animals can be made by calling 617-989-1561.
