About Us
At UrgentVet, we are dedicated to providing compassionate, affordable, and convenient urgent care for your pets. Founded by Dr. Jim Dobies in 2015, our mission is to bridge the gap between primary veterinary care and 24-hour emergency services. We understand that pets can't wait for medical attention, and that's why we are here to offer immediate relief for mild illnesses and minor injuries.
Our clinics are designed to provide a fear-free experience for your pets. Each location is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, including digital radiography and ultrasound technology, as well as in-house laboratories. Our staff is trained to be Fear-Free certified, ensuring that every interaction with your pet is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We have intentionally outfitted our clinics with non-slip flooring, dimmable lighting, soothing colors, soft music, calming pheromones, and quiet exam lift tables to create a welcoming environment for all pets.
We are open nights, weekends, and holidays, making us a reliable option for pet owners who need urgent care outside of regular business hours. Our services are significantly more affordable than those at emergency pet hospitals, yet we offer top-tier treatment that your pets deserve. We treat a wide range of conditions, including vomiting, diarrhea, limping, itching, coughing, not eating, minor wounds, back pain, and more.
At UrgentVet, we prioritize building strong relationships with neighboring primary care veterinarians. Approximately 90% of pets seen at our clinics are treated on site and referred to their primary vet with detailed letters and records for follow-up care. Our goal is to provide comprehensive care that complements your regular veterinary routine while ensuring your pet receives the immediate attention they need.
