UrgentVet is a whole new breed of pet clinic --- providing prompt, attentive care on a more convenient schedule. Until now, if a pet was sick or injured outside of regular office hours, owners had two choices: pay a premium price at an emergency vet or wait for an appointment with their regular vet. UrgentVet was created to fill the gap between these choices by offering a more affordable and more convenient alternative. We provide prompt care for cases that aren't serious enough for an emergency vet, but are too pressing to wait for a scheduled appointment. UrgentVet offers after-hours treatment for common pet illnesses and injuries --- just like an urgent care center for people. We are open 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends, when traditional veterinary hospitals are closed. We provide immediate relief for dogs and cats with ailments such as post-operative incision complications, minor wounds, ear infections, mild vomiting and diarrhea, and numerous urgent but non-life threatening conditions. When a pet is sick or injured, owners simply drop in --- no appointment necessary! UrgentVet costs less than the emergency vet and there's no need to miss work to see the regular vet the next business day. We accept referrals from other veterinarians, and we will provide owners and referring vets with clear and concise discharge instructions. Remember, your pet can't wait to feel better!
