Is your pet experiencing a medical emergency? At Broadway Veterinary Hopsital, we provide urgent pet care in Sacramento, CA, ensuring fast and effective treatment for sudden illnesses and injuries. Our dedicated veterinary team is here to offer compassionate care when your pet needs it most.
Our dedicated team is here to provide urgent, high-quality care for your pets—because they’re family and deserve immediate attention when it matters most!
When your pet faces a sudden health scare, panic can set in faster than you can say quickly, leaving you unsure if you should seek urgent care. Whether it’s your dog limping after an enthusiastic game of fetch, your cat hiding under the bed with labored breathing, or your beloved pet not acting like themselves, our caring team at Broadway Veterinary Hospital is here to help.
We understand pet emergencies don’t follow a convenient 9-to-5 schedule, and neither do we when it comes to caring for your beloved animals. Our experienced team of UC Davis-trained veterinarians provides comprehensive urgent care services designed to address those frightening “something’s not right” moments with the skill, compassion, and warmth that sets us apart from corporate veterinary chains.
Recognizing when your pet needs immediate medical attention can mean the difference between a quick recovery and a more serious health crisis. While some situations clearly warrant emergency intervention, others fall into that gray area where you’re unsure whether to wait for your regular vet appointment or seek immediate care.
Common urgent care scenarios include sudden onset of vomiting or diarrhea, especially when accompanied by lethargy or loss of appetite. Difficulty breathing, excessive panting when not hot or excited, and any signs of pain, such as whimpering, restlessness, or reluctance to move, should never be ignored.
For our specialized bulldog patients, breathing difficulties can escalate quickly due to their unique facial structure, making Dr. Sam Varon’s extensive experience with brachycephalic breeds particularly valuable during urgent situations.

Animals are masters at hiding pain and discomfort, making it crucial for pet parents to recognize subtle changes in behavior or physical condition. Understanding these warning signs helps you make informed decisions about when to seek urgent veterinary care.
The following symptoms always warrant immediate veterinary attention:
Even seemingly minor cuts or scrapes can become serious if left untreated, particularly in pets who tend to lick or chew at wounds. Changes in eating habits, unusual hiding behavior, or disruption of normal routines often signal underlying health issues requiring prompt evaluation.
Broadway Veterinary Hospital’s urgent care services bridge the gap between routine wellness visits and full emergency hospitalization. Our state-of-the-art facility allows us to perform advanced diagnostics and treatments that many practices refer elsewhere, keeping your pet’s care close to home during stressful situations.
Dr. Tyler Baum brings specialized orthopedic knowledge to urgent care situations involving suspected fractures, joint injuries, or mobility issues. His expertise in procedures, like TPLO repairs for cruciate tears and MPL corrections for dislocating kneecaps, means we can quickly assess and address orthopedic emergencies that might otherwise require referral to distant specialty centers.
When urgent care situations require immediate intervention, our fully equipped facility provides comprehensive solutions under one roof. Our in-house capabilities include digital radiography for rapid fracture assessment, ultrasound for internal injury evaluation, and complete laboratory services for blood work and urinalysis.
From emergency soft tissue repairs to complex orthopedic procedures, we handle cases that many general practices cannot accommodate. Dr. Sam’s surgical skills extend beyond routine procedures to include specialized interventions for breathing emergencies in flat-faced breeds, utilizing advanced laser technology to quickly address airway obstructions through nose-opening procedures and soft palate modifications.
Walking into any veterinary facility with a sick or injured pet can feel overwhelming, but our team works hard to create a calming, supportive environment during these stressful moments. From the moment you call or arrive, our staff prioritizes triage to ensure pets with the most critical needs receive immediate attention.
Our approach combines thorough medical assessment with clear communication about findings, treatment options, and associated costs. We believe informed pet parents make the best decisions for their pets, so we take time to explain conditions, discuss treatment alternatives, and answer questions even during urgent situations. The family-owned atmosphere that defines Broadway Veterinary Hospital shines particularly bright during urgent care visits, as our consistent team knows you and your pet, making accurate assessments and targeted treatments more effective.
While we’re always here when urgent situations arise, proactive pet care remains the best approach to minimizing emergency visits. Regular wellness examinations help identify potential problems before they become urgent issues, and keeping up with preventive treatments, such as vaccinations and parasite control, reduces disease risks.
Creating a comprehensive emergency plan before urgent situations occur helps you respond quickly and effectively when your pet needs immediate care. Establishing a relationship with our veterinary team means we already understand your pet’s normal behavior, medical history, and any ongoing health concerns.
Consider assembling a pet first aid kit with basic supplies, such as gauze, antiseptic, and a digital thermometer, along with knowledge of your pet’s normal vital signs. This preparation helps you provide initial care and communicate effectively with veterinary staff during urgent situations.
When your beloved companion faces a health crisis, you want experienced, compassionate veterinary care from professionals who treat your pet like family. Our team of UC Davis-trained veterinarians combines advanced medical knowledge with the personal touch that only a family-owned practice can provide.
From Dr. Sam’s specialized bulldog expertise to Dr. Tyler’s orthopedic skills, our comprehensive approach to urgent care ensures your pet receives the highest quality treatment close to home. We understand pet emergencies create stress for everyone, so we provide excellent medical care, emotional support, and clear communication that helps you navigate these challenging moments.
