Tampa, Florida [September 2024] — Wayne, Pennsylvania is the newest UrgentVet location providing urgent care veterinary services. The advanced facility at 111 East Swedesford Road, Suite 111, offers prompt same-day care for pets experiencing non-life-threatening conditions.
“We’re excited to bring top-tier veterinary urgent care services to the Wayne community,” said Lou Palermo, Vice-President of Expansion. “We believe in building strong relationships with our clients and their pets, and we’re here to support the health and happiness of Philadelphia cats and dogs.”
The UrgentVet concept was created by Dr. Jim Dobies, who recognized that pet parents could benefit from a veterinary service that provided flexible after-hours care, without the premium cost of a 24-hour emergency hospital.
UrgentVet Wayne is open on evenings, weekends, and holidays, and offers veterinary services for about 40% less than an emergency facility and usually shorter wait times.
The UrgentVet approach spans the gap between regular veterinary visits and emergency care by offering medical attention to pets experiencing non-life-threatening issues that still need prompt, same-day care. Examples include vomiting, diarrhea, toxin ingestion, ear infections, eye issues, skin conditions, and end-of-life euthanasia. “We are proud to partner with local general practice veterinarians and emergency hospitals, providing care when they’re closed or at capacity,” said Palermo.
Pet owners do not need an appointment at UrgentVet Wayne, but they can reserve an estimated arrival time online.
The UrgentVet Wayne team has access to state-of-the-art equipment, such as an in-house laboratory and advanced imaging technology, including digital radiography and ultrasound, to enhance patient care.
UrgentVet Wayne’s Fear Free Certified® Veterinary Professionals have received advanced training to understand pet body language and use gentle handling techniques to minimize fear, anxiety, and stress in pets. Other Fear Free features the clinic uses include:
- Species- and size-specific waiting rooms
- Calming pheromone diffusers
- Non-slip floors
- White noise machines
- Quiet exam lift tables
- Soothing colors
The facility also has revolutionary Casco tempered glass pet enclosures, which are designed to be 70% quieter than metal cages, significantly reducing noise-associated stress.
