Thank you for making Windrose Animal Hospital your favorite!
We're honored to serve the Cranberry Township community with exceptional pet care.
Walk-In Urgent Care at
Windrose Animal Hospital
Windrose Animal Hospital now offers walk-in urgent care for NON-SURGICAL OR CRITICAL CARE visits during our urgent care hours. Think "med express for pets." What this means is that every day, we are guaranteed to have appointments available, and at 40-50% less than anyone else in the area. For peace of mind for our pet parents and owners, no corners are cut, and great care at great prices!
You can also call and schedule your appointment, guaranteed to be seen at that time without waiting, with a non-refundable deposit of $137 that is applied to the exam fee ($137).
**LIMITED NUMBER OF SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE**
For exotic pets, we do not yet have daily Urgent Care at this time; however, please call our office, as we may have availability, doctor depending.
Typical appointments seen via our urgent care service include, but are not limited to, severe skin issues, ear infections, UTI's, limping issues, mild to moderate breathing/coughing issues, and GI issues, to name a few.
Routine care, such as vaccines, WILL NOT be given during these visits, and depending on the examination and/or diagnostics that are performed, you may still be referred to a 24/7 critical care facility for further care.
