Frequently Asked Questionsin Oklahoma City, OK

We provide care for both urgent and life-threatening conditions in dogs and cats. Common reasons pets visit us include vomiting, diarrhea, limping, breathing difficulties, toxin ingestion, and injuries.

If you’re unsure whether your pet needs emergency care, give us a call — our team can help guide you.

When you arrive, a veterinary nurse will assess your pet’s condition to determine how urgently they need to be seen. Pets in stable condition may need to wait briefly if another pet’s situation is critical. This ensures that every animal receives care based on their medical needs.

We accept all major credit and debit cards, cash, ScratchPay, and CareCredit. While we do not offer in-house payment plans, many clients use third-party financing options to help manage costs.

Yes — we value collaboration. After your pet’s visit, we send a full medical record to your primary care veterinarian, so they remain informed and can continue your pet’s follow-up care.

City Paws Emergency Care welcomes families to visit their hospitalized pets whenever possible. Visitation is coordinated by our medical team and depends on several factors, including your pet’s medical stability, current patient volume, staffing levels, and ongoing treatments.

Our top priority is providing uninterrupted, high-quality care to all hospitalized patients. Because of this, visit times and durations may vary day to day and may need to be scheduled, shortened, delayed, or, in some cases, temporarily restricted.

During periods of high patient volume, visitation may not be possible. Our team will always do their best to communicate with you and accommodate visits when it is safe to do so.

If you’re unsure, call us. Our experienced team can help determine whether your pet should be seen immediately or if the issue can wait until your regular vet is available. When in doubt, it’s always safest to have your pet evaluated.
