Overview
After-hours urgent care clinic for pets, providing same-day, walk-in veterinary urgent care for non-life-threatening conditions. Open 365 days a year, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Up to 40% less than the emergency vet
Opened in October 2021. UrgentVet was founded to fill the gap between your regular veterinarian and the ER vet. The concept was created by Dr. Jim Dobies, a beloved veterinarian who recognized that pet parents needed another choice in veterinary services – an alternative that would offer flexible after-hours care, without the premium cost of a 24-hour emergency hospital
Mission — We want to be here for your pet when your primary care vet can’t. Our goal is to provide quick, convenient, affordable care 365 days a year
