Urgent Care for Pets in Wantage, NJ
When your pet is under the weather or has a minor mishap, you shouldn't have to wait days for an appointment. At Wantage Veterinary Hospital, we provide urgent care services for non-life-threatening issues to help your pet feel better, faster.
When to Call for Urgent Care vs. Emergency
Not every "oops" requires a trip to a 24-hour ER, but many issues still need professional attention today. We are here to bridge that gap for Sussex County, Orange County, and Morris County residents.
Common Urgent Care Situations We Handle:
- Ear Infections: Scratching at ears or a strange odor.
- Minor Wounds: Small cuts, "hot spots," or broken nails.
- Digestive Upsets: Vomiting or diarrhea (when the pet is still acting alert).
- Skin & Allergy Flare-ups: Intense itching or sudden rashes.
- Eye Issues: Squinting, redness, or discharge.
- Minor Lameness: Sudden limping or stiffness.
- Bladder infections or Urinary Tract Infections UTI: Urinary accidents, frequent or painful urination.
Why Choose Our Urgent Care Team?
Our facility is fully equipped with an in-house laboratory and digital X-ray technology. This means we can often get answers and start treatment during your visit, saving you time and worry. Plus, because we are a local Sussex County practice, your pet will be seen by a team that knows the local environmental factors (like ticks and seasonal allergies) that might be causing the problem.
Same Day Support for Your Pet
If you believe your pet needs to be seen urgently, please call us at (973) 875-7297 immediately. While we are not a 24-hour emergency hospital, we do our best to squeeze in our local clients during regular business hours whenever possible.

If your pet has collapsed or has suffered major trauma, please proceed directly to the nearest 24-hour emergency center.
