Overview
After Hours Urgent Care Clinic for Pets • Walk-Ins Welcome. Same-day, after-hours veterinary urgent care, 365 days a year. Up to 40% less than the emergency vet
UrgentVet was founded to fill the gap between your regular veterinarian and the ER vet. The UrgentVet concept was created by Dr. Jim Dobies, a beloved veterinarian whose kindhearted care has been appreciated and valued by countless furry patients and their families. Dr. Dobies 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. To fill this urgent need, he created UrgentVet – the clinic for pets who can’t wait to feel better
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
