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.

Today, UrgentVet has expanded to over 80 locations across 20 states in the United States - and we're continuing to grow! Learn more about opportunities at our upcoming locations.
