Pet Urgent Care Services at North Paws Veterinary Clinic

Maple Grove, MN Pet Urgent Care

North Paws is now offering Urgent Care service during weekday evenings! This service provides out-patient care for dogs and cats that need to be treated right away but are not emergencies.

If your pet has an emergency, please contact one of the emergency clinics nearest you. We do not keep pets overnight and any pets that need further overnight care will be transferred to a 24-hour emergency facility such as Blue Pearl in Blaine or Animal Emergency and Referral Center in Oakdale.

At this time, we are starting with a small staff for Urgent Care, so please give us a call prior to sending any pets our way to make sure we can accommodate them. Also, please keep in mind that if one of our team members get sick or contracts COVID-19, we may need to stop Urgent Care services for a period of time.
