"Urgent Pet Care of Papillion is awesome. The photo is my sweet furry baby sleeping in my arms. This is her story: 8 PM on a Monday evening, I took my sweet little dog in a lot of pain to an emergency clinic near 96th & Q because my vet's office was closed. A vet tech looked at her & said she was not urgent. Therefore, there was a wait of around 2 hours just to see a vet. At that time, my senior dog was in obvious pain with rapid breathing and not using a front leg after jumping down off the couch. While still in their waiting room, I called Urgent Pet Care of Papillion. They told me to bring her right over to see her at 8:30 PM. When I arrived, carrying my dog, who couldn't walk in, their vet tech also did an assessment with a different viewpoint & said her gums were pale, panting hard due to pain & took us directly into a room immediately. The vet saw her right away. Both the vet tech & vet were caring and top-notch. They assessed and treated her with care and concern. She is now much better with their recommendations. It turned out to be a sprain without a break in a senior dog. Thank God. She was given anti-inflammatory medication and something for pain as needed. Amazingly enough, they also did follow up with a text later in the week to check on her progress. Although vets do this, I haven't heard of emergency rooms ever doing follow-up, so this was a pleasant surprise & further demonstrating great care and concern. In addition, my vet's office confirmed that the urgent care records were already faxed to their office for their information and follow-up care. I'm so impressed by this urgent care business. Thank you, Urgent Pet Care of Papillion!"
