The new UrgentVet Hoover clinic will operate nights, weekends, and holidays, providing relief for mild illnesses and minor injuries at significantly more affordable rates compared to emergency pet hospitals.
Lou Palermo, Vice-President of Expansion for UrgentVet, expressed the company’s enthusiasm for the area, stating, “Hoover is a city brimming with vibrant shopping destinations like the Riverchase Galleria, beautiful parks such as Moss Rock Preserve, plus top-tier schools and community amenities.” He went on to say, “It’s the perfect blend of suburban charm and urban convenience, and we’re proud to be a part of that – offering an option for after-hours veterinary care for the pets of the area.”

UrgentVet- Hoover marks the first location in Alabama and the 76th clinic nationwide. With locations spanning across various states, including Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin, UrgentVet continues to provide convenient and affordable care for pets across the United States.
UrgentVet- Hoover is intentionally designed to offer a fear-free experience for pets and pet parents. The clinic features species- and size-specific exam rooms, non-slip flooring, dimmable lighting, soothing colors, soft music, calming pheromones, and quiet exam lift tables. The revolutionary tempered glass pet enclosures from Casco, designed to be 70% quieter than metal cages, UrgentVet – Hoover also utilizes fear-free features through a certified team and strives to provide compassionate pet care in the veterinary industry.
To ensure the highest quality of care, the clinic is equipped with an in-house laboratory and state-of-the-art equipment, including digital radiography and ultrasound technology. Palermo emphasized UrgentVet’s commitment to providing relief and reducing stress for both pets and pet parents.
UrgentVet is positioned to address common conditions requiring immediate attention but not serious enough for hospitalization. Same-day care for conditions such as vomiting, diarrhea, limping, itching, coughing, not eating, minor wounds, and back pain are offered. “In human healthcare, you visit your regular doctor for wellness and planned care, the ER for anything life-threatening and urgent care for everything in between,” Palermo noted. “We’re urgent care – but for pets.”
In alignment with its commitment to collaboration, UrgentVet aims to foster strong relationships with neighboring primary care veterinarians. Approximately 90% of pets seen at UrgentVet are treated on-site and are referred to their primary vet with a detailed letter and records for follow-up care.
