Vet Urgency was founded to fill a void in the pet care options available to the community. A need existed for an after hours and weekend option that serves as a middle ground between the services provided by primary care veterinarians and a full scale emergency facility. Vet Urgency’s goal is to complement the services offered by community veterinarians by ensuring prompt and quality care for their patients when there is a need for immediate care and their offices are closed.
