What's urgent care?

Similar to urgent care for humans, urgent pet care addresses immediate, non-life-threatening health concerns that require prompt attention.

If your pet is uncomfortable, or if you're concerned that something is wrong with their health, an urgent care visit is a smart move.

What is urgent care?

Urgent care is for issues that require immediate attention, but aren’t life threatening. Issues may include bite wounds, diarrhea or vomiting, eye issues, pain or limping, or changes in your pet’s health that cause you concern.

If you’re ever in doubt about what kind of care your pet needs, you can access our 24/7 virtual care team within minutes through the Juno app.

We offer both primary care and urgent care at our clinic. We’re open 8:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday to Sunday. All our members are guaranteed same-day or next-day urgent care appointments.

In an emergency situation, your pet will always take priority. We appreciate your understanding that you may need to wait until one of our vets is free, or may need to be referred to a larger emergency hospital for more intensive care.

If your pet is experiencing an emergency outside of our open hours, we recommend you contact an after-hours emergency veterinary clinic. The nearest 24-hour emergency clinic to Juno is the Veterinary Emergency Hospital (VEC), at 920 Yonge St Suite 117. Their phone number is 416-920-2002.

Do I need to be a member before I come to Juno for an emergency?

In an emergency, your pet’s health is our top priority. Non-members can reach out to our 24/7 virtual care team by calling 1-866-220-5554. You'll be asked to sign up for a membership when you arrive and your pet is safely in our care.

What happens during an urgent care appointment?

During an urgent care appointment, our vet will examine your pet and discuss their history with you. Depending on the issue, they may recommend additional testing. Once the issue has been diagnosed, we’ll recommend a treatment plan to help your pet recover as quickly as possible. If it’s relevant, we’ll recommend steps you can take to prevent the issue from happening again.

Price transparency is important to us, so we’ll always discuss the cost of tests or treatment upfront. We’ll also provide you with discharge notes so you can remember everything we spoke about and the details of your pet’s treatment plan.

What happens next? Does my pet need a follow-up appointment?

Depending on the issue, additional testing may be required, or the vet may be able to prescribe a treatment plan immediately. Follow-up visits may or may not be required. Price transparency is important to us, so we’ll always discuss the cost of tests or treatment upfront. We’ll also provide you with discharge notes so you can remember everything we spoke about and the details of your pet’s treatment plan.

Do you accept pet insurance?

Yes, we accept all forms of pet insurance.
