Being a pet parent can be stressful, especially when your pet gets sick or injured on the weekend. Thankfully, the team at Double Oak Mountain Animal Hospital is here to help with new Urgent Care options every Saturday and Sunday from noon all the way until 10 PM.

What is pet urgent care?

Your pet can receive the treatment they need when they need itno need to wait until Monday or seek Emergency Care services for non-critical symptoms. Often, Urgent Care services are less costly than Emergency Care, offering a more affordable and convenient weekend alternative for you and your pet.

Get expert care from veterinarians you can trust.

The staff at Double Oak Mountain work hard to create a comfortable and compassionate environment for you and your furry friends. Their Urgent Care option provides prompt access to top-quality outpatient veterinary care at a convenient location right on Highway 280. Drs. Vargas, Douglas, and Miller bring years of experience and care to the Birmingham area along with the rest of their team of dedicated professionals.

In addition to Urgent Care, Double Oak Mountain Animal Hospital also provides wellness exams, Emergency Care, ultrasounds, dental cleanings, and spay/neuter services. They have served the community for well over two decades, always striving to serve, love, and care for pets and their owners.
