Urgent Veterinary Care for Your Pet
At Rustburg Veterinary Clinic, our primary focus is on preventive and wellness care—helping your pets stay healthy through routine exams, vaccinations, and ongoing care. However, we understand that unexpected illnesses and injuries can happen, and when they do, our team will do our best to work in urgent care cases during regular business hours.
While many urgent concerns can be addressed here, some situations may require more advanced or around-the-clock care. In those cases, we will refer you to a trusted emergency clinic to ensure your pet receives the immediate treatment they need.
