Compassionate Urgent Care, When You Need It Most
Wilmington Animal Hospital offers same-day urgent care and sick visits during our regular hospital hours for our patients and pet owners across North Wilmington, southern New Jersey, and southern Pennsylvania. If your pet needs prompt attention, our Virtual Waiting Room makes it simple:
- Starting at 6:00 AM, you can notify us of your urgent care need online.
- Beginning at 8:00 AM, our team triages each case and will contact you with a specific time to bring your pet in—helping reduce stress, long waits, and uncertainty.
Whether it’s a sudden concern or a question about symptoms, you can always contact our hospital by phone, text, or email for guidance.
Seamless Care & Easy Scheduling
If we see your pet for an urgent visit, we’re happy to share medical records directly with your regular DVM to ensure continuity of care. For routine needs, we make scheduling simple: regular (non-urgent and wellness) appointments can be booked at any time through our website. From urgent support to preventive care, our team is here to provide thoughtful, reliable veterinary services—delivered with clarity, communication, and genuine compassion.
