2020 Best Veterinarian: Horse Heaven Hills Pet Urgent Care

When you walk into an exam room at Horse Heaven Hills Pet Urgent Care you’ll see a plush couch and chairs as well as a working TV with movie option. Pets won’t be going onto a sterile metal table – instead they will be examined on an ottoman.

“We try to emulate a home environment. We’re trying to essentially mimic a comfortable, caring environment. The patients won’t have weird smells or distractions.”

Staff say that patients are calmer, their heart rates are better if they feel relaxed. Not only the pet patients, but the pet parents benefit when they feel like they are in a well-decorated room while often dealing with difficult health issues or end-of-life care.

That level of comfort, and that this veterinarian clinic offers the convenience of the only daytime walk-in urgent care veterinarian in Tri-Cities, is what has set it apart to gain the top choice among readers. It is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day – no exceptions.

In addition to traditional care, the clinic offers pharmaceuticals, pain management, nursing care, intensive care and life support, in-house laboratory, on-site ECG/Echocardiogram services, radiology as well as a suite for emergency surgery and anesthesia.
