Salty Paws Veterinary Urgent Care

Veterinary urgent care for what won't wait until morning. Salty Paws is the bridge between your regular vet and the ER. The same medical capability for most of what walks in, at a fraction of the cost — from doctors who'd rather see you than send you away

Formerly known as KindVet of Sarasota. Salty Paws is owned and run by two practicing veterinarians — not a corporate consolidator, not a holding company, not a brand built around a marketing budget. When you call, you're calling a practice that two people put their own money and reputation behind

Mission — We've been on the other side of that bill. Pet owners face the same confusion every day. Vet's closed. Something's wrong. The ER is the only door that's open — so they walk through it. Often that's the right call. Often it's not. You can't tell the difference at 9 PM on a Saturday, and nobody hands you a map. So families drive to the ER scared, and leave with a bill that takes months to recover from — for something a $300 urgent care visit could have answered in an hour. Salty Paws is the door we wished we'd had. Real medical care, from doctors trained to handle what walks in. Triage. Stabilize. Diagnose. Treat. And if your pet truly needs the ER, we'll get you there safely — but most of the time, you'll walk back out with answers, a treatment plan, and a bill that doesn't break your year
