Why Choose Same Day Appointments at Omnivet?
Pet health issues rarely give advance notice. A pet that was perfectly fine this morning can be lethargic, vomiting, limping, or refusing to eat by afternoon — and in those moments, the last thing you want is to be told the next available appointment is days away. Our same day appointment system is designed specifically to close that gap, ensuring you and your pet can access prompt, professional veterinary care when it matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions About Same Day Appointments at Omnivet
How do I book a same day appointment at Omnivet?
The quickest way to secure a same day appointment is to call Omnivet directly at (231) 244-4860 as early in the day as possible. Our team will do everything we can to fit you in promptly. You can also use our online appointment request system, though calling is recommended for same day needs to ensure real-time availability.

Are same day appointments available for emergencies?
Yes — if your pet is experiencing an urgent health issue, please call Omnivet immediately at (231) 244-4860 so we can prioritize your visit and have our team ready when you arrive. For life-threatening emergencies involving difficulty breathing, collapse, severe bleeding, suspected toxin ingestion, or urinary obstruction, please head directly to our emergency care line rather than waiting for a scheduled slot.
Is there an additional fee for same day appointments?
Depending on the time of day and the nature of the visit, there may be a small urgent care fee associated with same day appointments. We are always transparent about costs upfront and will let you know what to expect before your visit. Our goal is to make timely veterinary care as accessible as possible for every pet owner in Traverse City, MI. Call us at (231) 244-4860 with any questions about fees before your visit.
What types of services can be handled during a same day appointment?
Same day appointments at Omnivet can address a broad range of concerns including wellness exams, minor illness evaluation, vomiting and diarrhea, coughing, limping, minor lacerations, allergic reactions, ear, skin, or urinary infections, and more. Our team can also perform bloodwork and X-rays on the same day when diagnostics are needed. If you’re unsure whether your pet’s concern can be handled in a same day visit, just call and we’ll advise you.
Can I walk in for a same day appointment without calling ahead?
Walk-ins are welcome at Omnivet, and we will always do our best to see your pet as promptly as possible. However, calling ahead at (231) 244-4860 is strongly recommended for same day visits, as it allows our team to prepare for your arrival, give you an estimated wait time, and ensure your pet is seen with minimal delay. Visit our walk-in appointments page for more information on what to expect when you arrive without a scheduled time.
How is a same day appointment different from an urgent care appointment?
A same day appointment is simply a scheduled visit booked for the current day, and can be used for both routine concerns and urgent issues. An urgent care appointment is specifically designed for situations that need prompt attention but do not rise to the level of a full emergency — such as a pet that is unwell but stable. Both options are available at Omnivet, and our team will help you determine which is most appropriate for your pet’s situation when you call.
What should I bring to my pet’s same day appointment?
To make the most of your same day visit, bring any relevant health records, a list of your pet’s current medications, and a description of the symptoms you’ve noticed — including when they started and any changes in behavior, appetite, or bathroom habits. If your pet has had recent diagnostic testing done elsewhere, bringing those records can be very helpful. Having this information ready allows our team at Omnivet to focus immediately on your pet’s care rather than gathering background history from scratch.
