Veterinary Urgent Care & Emergencies in Coral Springs, FL

At Heron Lakes Animal Hospital, we understand that pet emergencies can happen at any time, and often when you least expect it. That’s why we offer urgent care and same-day appointments during our regular business hours.

Welcome to Heron Lakes Animal Hospital

Same-Day & Urgent Care Appointments

If your pet is sick, injured, or just “not acting right,” don’t wait. We reserve space in our schedule each day for urgent concerns.

Call us at (954)-344-4911 to check availability and get your pet the care they need ASAP.

Common issues we see for same-day visits include:

  • Vomiting or diarrhea
  • Sudden limping or pain
  • Cuts, scrapes, or wounds
  • Ear infections
  • Allergic reactions
  • Trouble urinating
  • Coughing or sneezing
  • Lethargy or appetite loss
  • Foreign body surgery

  • and more

Please note that while we are equipped for most urgent situations, we are not a 24/7 emergency facility.
