Urgent & Sick Visits · Chantilly, VA
When something is wrong with your pet, you shouldn't be told the next available appointment is in five days. Nova Pets Health Center offers same-day urgent and sick visits Monday through Saturday — for everything from vomiting and lacerations to fractures, respiratory distress, and toxin ingestion. In-house lab, digital X-ray, and full diagnostic capability on-site.
What clients say when their pet needed help right away.
“We recently took our 11-year-old Yorkie during a very scary and painful time. He was screaming in pain for minutes at a time. From the very first phone call, Nova Pet Health Center stood out. The person who answered was compassionate, attentive, and genuinely cared, insisting we bring him in right away. The care and kindness we received meant everything to us.”
“I came in on the weekend after my regular vet said they didn't have any more appointments. I talked to Keisha, she let me come in after I explained the emergency with my cat. She explained everything and helped me pick the best course of action — so happy I chose them.”
“Pearl has had two very serious issues — throwing up blood, and difficulty breathing — and not only did Dr. Masood help Pearl, he helped put my mind at ease at the same time. He is compassionate and really cares.”
“Recently my dog was poisoned and Dr. Masood and his team provided excellent care and saved her life. They also helped us with detailed documentation so we could provide to her insurance provider. Highly recommend if you're looking for a vet that really cares.”
“Today my rescue pup ate something she shouldn't have. I showed up when they opened with no appointment. Dr. Masood took care of my pup right away and gave me the best options for her health and financially. He always thinks about what is best for our fur babies.”
“I am beyond grateful for Dr. Masood and the staff at Nova Pets. Thank you for helping my baby Kelso get back on his feet after getting attacked by foxes. They are truly amazing in every way.”
Is this your situation?
One of the hardest things about having a sick pet is not knowing what to do. Is this serious? Can it wait until tomorrow?
We'd rather you call us and find out than sit home worrying. Tell us what you're seeing — we'll let you know whether your pet needs to come in today, can wait for a scheduled appointment, or needs emergency care outside our hours. That's a call we make every day, and we're glad to make it for you.
We see walk-ins and can usually accommodate you quickly — but calling ahead first means we're ready when you arrive.
Signs your pet may need to be seen today
New patients welcome
If you've been looking for a regular vet and your pet needs to be seen today — this is a good way to start. Call us.
What to expect
A sick visit at Nova Pets is a full clinical evaluation — not a quick look and a generic prescription. Dr. Masood has 35+ years of experience reading the signs that matter.
Who we see
The honest answer
Emergency veterinary hospitals do excellent work — but if your pet isn't in a life-threatening situation, showing up means long waits, high costs, and care from a doctor who has never met your pet.
At Nova Pets, you get Dr. Masood — who may already know your pet, who will take the time to actually examine them, and who charges general practice rates. If it turns out your pet needs more than we can handle, or needs care outside our hours, we'll tell you immediately. But most sick pets don't need emergency care. They need a good vet, today.
Why Nova Pets
