Urgent Care Vet Services in Knoxville, TN
If your pet is sick or injured, time matters. West Hills Animal Hospital offers urgent care by appointment during regular business hours — please call ahead to ensure timely service.
Urgent Veterinary Care When Your
Pet Needs It Most
At West Hills Animal Hospital, we understand how stressful it is when your pet is suddenly not feeling well. While we are not a walk-in emergency vet clinic, we do provide same-day urgent care appointments when possible during regular hours. If your pet is experiencing a non-life-threatening issue that requires prompt attention, give us a call — we’ll do everything we can to help.
Because we operate by appointment only, calling ahead allows us to assess your pet’s condition and determine if we can accommodate you in a timely and safe manner. If we are unable to see your pet right away, we’ll guide you to a trusted local emergency vet that offers 24/7 care.
How Our Urgent Care Vet Services Work

- Ear or eye infections

If your pet is experiencing any of these symptoms, please call us at (865) 357-1270 before coming in so we can triage your case and let you know the best next steps.
