Clinic Provides Fear Free Handling to Reduce Pet Stress
[Tampa, Florida October 2024] —Pet owners in Tulsa can now access top-quality, stress-free urgent veterinary care with the grand opening of UrgentVet Tulsa. Located at 5255 South Sheridan Road, UrgentVet Tulsa is staffed by a Fear Free Certified® team dedicated to providing immediate medical attention in a calm and comforting environment.
“The goal of UrgentVet is to bridge the gap between a primary vet and the emergency room,” explained Dr. Stephanie Smith, Vice President of Medicine for UrgentVet “We know accidents happen, often after-hours,” Smith added. “UrgentVet is here for those non-life-threatening emergencies, like toxicity ingestion. Our team is ready to spring into action when pets eat things they shouldn’t.”
UrgentVet Tulsa’s mission is to deliver exceptional urgent care while prioritizing pets’ emotional well-being. The Fear Free Certified Veterinarians and support staff have undergone specialized training to recognize and reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in pets, and ensure a more positive and less stressful emergency visit. Other Fear Free features include:
- Separate waiting areas for pets based on size and species
- Calming species-specific pheromone diffusers
- Dimmable lighting
- Minimized noise
- Soft music
- Soothing colors
- Quiet exam lift tables
- Non-slip flooring
- Gentle handling techniques
- Casco tempered glass pet enclosures, which are 70% quieter than metal cages
UrgentVet Tulsa is open evenings, weekends, and holidays, caring for non-life-threatening issues, such as diarrhea, vomiting, toxin ingestion, inappetence, urinary tract problems, ear infections, minor injuries, and much more.
Pet parents can save a time slot online or walk in for prompt veterinary pet care. After treatment, UrgentVet Tulsa will send a copy of the pet’s record to their regular veterinarian’s office in 24 hours. UrgentVet clinics encourage follow-up visits with the pet’s primary veterinarian to ensure their continued good health.
