Urgent Care
NIVES is excited to announce our newest service line NIVES Urgent Care!
We’re adding supplemental urgent care to better streamline the emergency care needs of our community. Urgent Care treatment will be provided in our newly constructed building, located just in front of our main NIVES hospital. Our new Urgent Care facility is intended to treat those pets with minor injuries or concerns in a more timely manner. Any Urgent Care patients in need of more advanced treatment can be quickly transferred to the main NIVES building for additional critical care or 24-hour hospitalization.
We have a dedicated team of Call Center & Triage Specialists available to help clients best determine which level of veterinary care to seek for their pets. Our main, NIVES hospital is conveniently located just across the parking lot and will continue to provide treatment to animals in need of more advanced care or with life-threatening conditions.
