Same Day Appointments

Why Wait? Accessing Same-Day Care When You Need It Most

If you’ve tried to book a vet appointment recently in Northern Colorado, you’ve likely heard the same story: "We can see you in three or four weeks."

At Sajack Animal Hospital, we know that when your pet isn't feeling their best—or when your own schedule finally opens up—a month is a long time to wait. Whether it’s a sudden ear infection, a mystery limp, or just the peace of mind that comes with a professional opinion, we believe care should be accessible when it’s actually needed.

That’s why we’ve prioritized Same-Day Appointments right here in Berthoud.

Breaking the "Four-Week" Cycle

The veterinary industry has been stretched thin lately, leading to massive wait times across the Front Range. While we understand the challenges many clinics face, our mission at Sajack is to be a reliable resource for our neighbors in Berthoud, Johnstown, and the surrounding areas.

We’ve structured our daily schedule specifically to leave room for the unexpected. We don't want you sitting at home worrying about a "minor" issue that could become a major problem while you wait for a calendar date to arrive.

What Qualifies for a Same-Day Appointment?

You don't need a massive emergency to utilize our same-day service. This is perfect for those "in-between" moments that aren't necessarily a trip to the 24-hour ER, but certainly can’t wait a month:

• Sudden Skin or Ear Irritations: Scratching and discomfort shouldn't have to last for weeks.

• Minor Tummy Troubles: If they aren't eating or have a sudden upset stomach, we want to see them today.

• New Lumps or Bumps: We know the anxiety that comes with finding something new on your pet; we’re here to give you answers quickly.

• Urgent Wellness Needs: Sometimes life just gets busy, and you finally have a free afternoon to get those overdue vaccinations handled.

How It Works

We keep it simple. If you need to be seen today, give us a call. While our online booking is great for planning ahead, our same-day slots are managed by our team over the phone. This allows us to triaging the urgency and fit you into the next available opening during our normal business hours.

We are proud to be a part of this community, and being a good neighbor means being there when the door is knocked on. You shouldn't have to navigate a month-long waitlist to get your best friend the care they deserve.

Warmly,

Dr. Peterson
