About Us
At UrgentVet - Park Meadows, we are dedicated to providing compassionate, affordable, and convenient urgent care for your pets. Founded by Dr. Jim Dobies in 2015, UrgentVet is the first dedicated urgent care clinic for pets, aiming to bridge the gap between primary veterinary practices and 24-hour emergency vets. Our mission is to offer immediate relief for mild illnesses and minor injuries in dogs and cats, ensuring that your beloved pets receive the care they need without the high costs associated with emergency vet hospitals.
Our clinic is designed with your pet's comfort in mind. We have species- and size-specific exam rooms, non-slip flooring, dimmable lighting, soothing colors, soft music, and calming pheromones to create a fear-free experience. Our revolutionary tempered glass pet enclosures are 70% quieter than metal cages, making them the most Fear-Free product on the market today. All our staff members are uniquely trained to become Fear-Free-certified professionals, ensuring that your pet feels at ease during their visit.
We understand that unexpected illnesses or injuries can be terrifying for pet parents. That's why we are here to provide prompt and trusted care for non-life-threatening conditions. Our services include treating coughing, sneezing, diarrhea, dehydration, excessive drinking, eye discharge, fever, not eating or drinking, poison/toxin ingestion, skin allergies, upper respiratory infections, urinary tract problems, vomiting, abscesses, back pain, cuts and scrapes, fracture assessment, mild lameness, limping, minor wounds and lacerations, pain management, post-op incisions, toenail injuries, trouble walking, allergies, anal gland issues, anxiety and motion sickness, bad breath, bites and stings, ear infections, end-of-life care, hiding or whining, hives and facial swelling, lumps and bumps, parasites, and vaccine reactions.
We are committed to developing strong relationships with neighboring primary care veterinarians. Approximately 90% of pets seen at UrgentVet are treated on site and referred to their primary vet with detailed letters and records for follow-up care. Our goal is to help your pet get back on the mend while reducing your worry. We are open 365 days a year, including nights, weekends, and holidays, making us a reliable option for urgent pet care.
