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

What reviewers say
This emergency and urgent veterinary hospital provides prompt, compassionate after-hours care and weekend access when regular primary veterinarians are closed. The facility is exceptionally clean and features separate species-specific areas with calming touches to reduce anxiety in pets. The staff and veterinarians are widely regarded as kind, thorough, and highly professional, taking time to explain treatment plans and upfront costs clearly. While pricing reflects after-hours emergency care, many clients find the services reasonably priced compared to full 24-hour emergency hospitals. Follow-up calls and personal touches like handwritten cards provide strong support during both recovery and difficult end-of-life moments.
