After-Hours Urgent Care for Pets
When your regular vet is closed for the weekend, our Sugar Land clinic near Highway 6 and Southwest Freeway is open. We see dogs and cats from 8 AM to 6 PM every day, Saturdays and Sundays included.
We're not an overnight hospital, so this page also covers what to do once we've closed. Knowing the plan before a problem starts saves time when it counts.
Call (346) 436-6295 or book online. For urgent problems, call ahead or book online. We hold same-day spots every day.
When it's an emergency: Go straight to a 24-hour emergency hospital for trouble breathing, collapse, seizures, a hard or swollen belly with retching, a known poisoning, heatstroke, or bleeding that won't stop. We're open 8 AM to 6 PM, seven days a week, and we don't provide overnight care. Overnight, that's where your pet belongs.
Weekend Care Without Waiting for Monday
Most regular clinics close on weekends. We don't. If your dog starts limping Saturday morning or your cat stops eating Sunday, you can get a same-day spot instead of watching and worrying until Monday.
“Brought my cat here on a Sunday evening due to a burst abscess and they were super awesome and friendly. Really reasonable prices as well!”
— Zack H., Petfolk client.
You go straight to an exam room and stay with your pet. The doctor examines your pet, explains what's going on, and gives you an estimate before any test or treatment.
After We Close: A Plan for the Evening
Problems don't wait for business hours. Decide now which way you'd go, so you're not searching at 9 PM.
Life-threatening signs: go straight to a 24-hour emergency hospital. Save the nearest one's address and phone number in your phone today.
A worrying but stable pet: write down what you see and when, keep your pet quiet, and call us when we open at 8 AM.
A possible poisoning at any hour: call your nearest emergency hospital or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 right away. Don't wait for symptoms.
If you have a PetfolkCare membership, you can also chat with our care team 24/7 to talk through what you're seeing.
When It Can Wait for Morning
Some evening worries are fine until we open. A pet who vomited once and is now eating, drinking, and acting normal can usually wait. So can mild itching, a small scrape that's stopped bleeding, or a slight limp that's improving.
The question to ask is whether things are getting worse. Repeated vomiting, a pet who won't stand, labored breathing, or a belly that looks bigger by the hour can't wait for morning.
Fireworks Nights in and Around Sugar Land
Fireworks are banned inside Sugar Land city limits, but they're sold and set off in unincorporated parts of Fort Bend County nearby. Around the Fourth of July and New Year's Eve, many pets hear them anyway, and those evenings fall after we close.
Book a visit a week or two before the holiday if your pet panics at loud noises. The doctor can talk through anti-anxiety medication.
The ASPCA's Fourth of July safety tips recommend giving a practice dose before the big night to see how your pet responds.
Move your pet to an interior room with music on, and keep doors and gates closed. Frightened dogs slip out.
Make sure your pet's microchip registration has your current phone number.
What a Weekend Urgent Visit Costs
An urgent care visit is $135, or $36 with a PetfolkCare membership. Weekend visits are priced the same. You'll get an estimate before any tests or treatment.
Lab work, X-rays, and medication add to the total only if you approve them. PetfolkCare is $199 a year and includes 24/7 chat with our care team, which can help on nights when you're unsure.
Know Where You'll Go Before You Need It
For weekend and same-day problems, we're here from 8 AM to 6 PM every day. Call (346) 436-6295 or book online, and save a 24-hour emergency hospital in your phone for the hours we're closed.
