"Two weeks ago, my service dog suffered a serious paw injury. At the time, I had to decline treatment at another emergency vet due to affordability-we had no insurance, and as a disabled person living on a tight budget, I thought I could manage his wound care at home with prescriptions. Unfortunately, his condition worsened, and by the time we sought help again, his paw was severely damaged, with exposed bone.With the assistance of the Animal Welfare League of Arlington, we were referred to Urgent Animal Care of Arlington, and I cannot express enough gratitude for what we experienced there. From the moment we arrived, the staff provided a calming, private, and respectful environment. Dr. Gordon, Brittney, Josh, Alexia, Elias, and Adam from AWLA met us where we could afford care, and they treated us with the same dignity and compassion as any other client.I cried-not out of fear, but because of the kindness and humanity shown to us. They understood that our pup is not just a pet, but a service dog who has been by my side for 10 years. Their selfless dedication, time, and skill ensured that he received the care he desperately needed.Urgent Animal Care of Arlington is more than a clinic; it is a place where animals and their families are treated with respect, compassion, and dignity. I will forever be grateful for their extraordinary care and the way they supported us during such a difficult time."
