Walk-In Veterinary Care in Tulsa, OK
Walk-In Veterinary Care in Tulsa, OKAt Woodland West Animal Hospital, we understand that pet health concerns don’t always wait for an open appointment. That’s why we’re happy to offer walk-in veterinary services in Tulsa for dogs and cats who need care without a scheduled visit. Whether your pet woke up limping, has an itchy ear that won’t quit, or simply isn’t acting like themselves, our team will make every effort to see them promptly — 7 days a week, from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Convenient Walk-In Vet Visits
Life gets busy, and scheduling an appointment in advance isn’t always possible. Our walk-in option gives Tulsa pet owners the flexibility to visit when it works for them, so your pet receives the care they need as soon as possible. While appointments are preferred and take precedence over walk-ins, our team works hard to accommodate every patient. Pets arriving in critical condition are always seen immediately.
We also have a dedicated urgent care veterinarian on staff whose focus is seeing pets with same-day needs, which helps keep walk-in wait times as short as possible.
