An urgent care clinic for pets will be opening soon at East Cobb Crossing Shopping Center.
UrgentVet, which says it’s the first dedicated urgent care clinic for pets in the country, will open at 4363 Roswell Road, Suite 100, on Sept. 29.
The Belmont, NC-based company founded in 2015 has 20 existing locations, including 8 in North Carolina, 11 in Florida and one in Texas.
UrgentVet provides after-hours emergency and specialty veterinary care. A company release said that “UrgentVet clinics routinely treat vomiting, diarrhea, lacerations, wounds, and skin and ear problems among many other presenting complaints.”
UrgentVet East Cobb will have 2,200 square feet (a couple doors down from the Dog City Bakery) with five exam rooms and a comfort room. The exam rooms include dimmable lighting for anxious animals and relaxing music.
The facility will also include an in-house diagnostic lab, digital X-ray machine, ultrasound and cloud-based medical record-keeping software.
UrgentVet is open 365 days a year—from 3 -11 pm Monday-Friday, 10 am-8 pm Saturday-Sunday, and 12-8 pm on holidays. A clinic in Cumming is opening on Thursday.
“It feels so good to expand the UrgentVet footprint into a new state, and Georgia is a place that we’ve wanted to be for a long time,” UrgentVet founder Dr. Jim Dobies said in the release. “Opening clinics in Cumming and East Cobb make sense for so many reasons, and we couldn’t be more excited about giving pet parents in the north Atlanta suburbs a new after-hours option for their dogs and cats.”
No appointments are necessary for UrgentVet, and pet owners who check in online can request to receive a text message when their arrival time approaches.
The company claims that UrgentVet veterinarians and support staff are “Fear Free Certified Professionals,” meaning that they are skilled in caring for the pet’s physical and emotional well-being.
