Urgent Veterinary Care You Can Count On

Life with pets is full of surprises—and not all of them are fun. From minor injuries to sudden symptoms that just don’t seem right, Salt & Light Veterinary Clinic provides compassionate, urgent care for dogs and cats in Santa Rosa Beach and surrounding communities. Our experienced team offers appointments for non-life-threatening emergencies, so your pet gets prompt care without the panic.

If your pet is experiencing a life-threatening emergency after hours, we’ll refer you to one of our trusted 24-hour emergency hospital partners for immediate, advanced care.

When Should You Seek Urgent Veterinary Care?

If your pet is acting strangely or showing signs of discomfort, you don’t have to guess what’s wrong—or wait and worry. Contact us immediately for urgent veterinary care if your pet shows symptoms like:

Vomiting or diarrhea that lasts more than a few hours
Limping or sudden difficulty walking
Minor cuts or wounds
Eye redness, discharge, or swelling

Persistent itching, shaking ears, or skin irritation
Ingestion of a non-toxic but concerning object
Lethargy or behavior changes
Swelling from insect stings or allergic reactions

We’ll help determine whether your pet needs to be seen right away and what next steps are best for their care.

What to Expect During an Urgent Care Visit

Your pet’s comfort and safety come first. During an urgent visit, our veterinary team will:

Review your pet’s symptoms and recent behavior
Conduct a thorough physical exam
Recommend diagnostics if needed (e.g., X-rays, bloodwork, urine or fecal tests)
Provide prompt treatment or medications as appropriate
Share a clear plan for follow-up care or home monitoring

We take the time to explain what’s going on, walk you through options, and make sure you leave with confidence in your pet’s care plan.
