VETURGENCY is open evenings and weekends until midnight as a walk-in/no appointment necessary provider. While we do not take appointments we welcome you to use our interactive time reservation website www.veturgency.com to check the wait times and preregister your pet to expedite your visit similar to call ahead seating at a restaurant. We always have caring knowledgeable team members available by phone at (301) 288-8387 if you have any questions you would like to ask prior to arrival.
