My pet had a wound that needed care but it wasn't an emergency, and Scout provided an urgent, quality examination and treatment plan. The vet was transparent with options and prices and eager to help.

We often see pets struggling with these symptoms.

I had no idea urgent cares for pets existed until Scout was recommended to me by my normal vet, who couldn't get me in same-day. The staff was super kind and patient with me and  very transparent about pricing. Though I hope to not need their services for a long time, it's reassuring to know that Scout exists as a great option that's between your normal vet and the emergency vet.

Anna K

Everyone here was great. The space was cute and clean. They automatically forward any visit summary documents to your home vet. They couldn't have been more up front and transparent about every financial step.

Scout was recommended by our regular vet when we needed a next day appointment for a street rescue kitty. I can’t say enough good things about their professional, flexible staff. After examining her they promptly provided us with a comprehensive treatment  list with informed priority recommendations. Highly recommend them, as do our current vet!

Scout care provides urgent care for bad breath in cats and dogs

: In addition to a general exam, your Scout veterinarian will do an oral exam. In order to see everything in the mouth, this may require sedation.

: The treatment for halitosis is going to depend on the cause. If there is something stuck in the mouth or an infection present, your Scout veterinarian can help start you and your pet on the right path. If it’s a bad dental disease, there may not be much to do without seeing a primary care veterinarian for a dental cleaning.

Remember that you are the best advocate for your pet. If you think it’s a problem, it probably is! We are here for you in your time of need.

Bad breath in dogs and cats

— we’ve reimagined Urgent Care for modern cat and dog parents.


Transparency & clarity throughout your pet’s journey.


Committed to better.

Probably not. However, if they also seem painful in the mouth, we are always happy to take a look! 

Does your pet need Urgent Care?

Hi there! We are sorry you are here but happy to help. Is bad breath bumming you out? Dogs and cats that develop halitosis may not seem bothered by it but you sure are! But is it something that needs to be checked out today? Here’s how you know.      

Take a look! We know this is a bit of a foreign zone for a lot of pet parents. Plus, gross, the whole reason you are looking is because of a bad smell, right? 

However, it can be empowering to see exactly what is going on. If all you see is bad tarter/calculus on the teeth, you can avoid a trip to Scout today and make a regular appointment with your primary care veterinarian!

Warning! Some pets get really upset when people are trying to touch or manipulate their face and/or mouths. 

If your pet looks scared, nervous, or you are unsure how they would react, it’s always better to be safe and let a professional do an exam. 

Here’s what you can do at home...

When did this start? Did it come on suddenly or has it been getting worse with time?

A sudden change to the odor of the breath could indicate a more acute problem.

Is your pet also bothered? Are they still eating and drinking? Any pawing at the mouth?

If they seem painful or suddenly won’t eat, there may be something bigger going on.
