Urgent Care in the Annex.
When something changes suddenly, knowing where to turn matters. The Village Vet+ Annex offers urgent care appointments for dogs and cats in the Annex and surrounding Toronto neighbourhoods. Call us to discuss your pet’s symptoms and appointment availability. If your pet is in severe distress, contact an emergency veterinary hospital right away.
Your questions, answered.
Does my pet need urgent care or an emergency hospital?
Trouble breathing, collapse, heavy bleeding, repeated seizures, or straining without passing urine need immediate emergency attention. Suspected poisoning also needs immediate veterinary advice. For less severe concerns, call The Village Vet+ Annex at Phone number – TBD to discuss the safest next step. Do not wait for an online booking response in an emergency.
Can my pet be seen today at the Annex?
Call us and describe what is happening. The Village Vet+ Annex offers urgent appointments when availability allows. Our team can confirm whether your pet can be seen at our Bloor Street location or whether they need an emergency hospital.
What concerns are suitable for an urgent appointment?
Examples include a new limp, a painful ear, an itchy skin flare-up, or a change in appetite. Vomiting, diarrhoea and urinary symptoms can range from mild to serious, so describe their frequency, severity and any other changes when you call.
What happens during an urgent care visit at the Annex?
Dr. Astin or a member of our care team will examine your pet and review when the symptoms began. Depending on the findings, they may recommend testing, treatment or referral. Share your main concerns and ask which decisions need to be made immediately and which can wait.
What should I bring to my urgent care appointment?
Bring current medications, available records and a timeline of symptoms. If a toxin may be involved, bring the packaging or a photo. Do not give human medication or induce vomiting unless a veterinary professional specifically instructs you to.
What if my pet needs help after hours?
The Village Vet+ Annex offers 24/7 telehealth support. Call Phone number – TBD after hours and press 5 to speak with a Registered Veterinary Technician who can help you decide on the right next step. Telehealth can help with guidance but cannot replace emergency treatment. Go directly to an emergency hospital for severe symptoms.
How much will an urgent care visit cost?
The cost depends on the examination, tests and treatment your pet needs. Ask our team about the consultation fee and request an estimate for recommended care. Let us know about any budget concerns so we can discuss priorities together.
