FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tampa, FL (March 2024) – UrgentVet, a pioneering leader in dedicated urgent care clinics for pets, is delighted to announce the grand opening of its newest hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. UrgentVet-Louisville, strategically located at 982 Breckenridge Lane will officially open its doors on March 7, offering pet parents in the region a convenient after-hours pet care option.
Recognizing the critical need for accessible, high-quality care during after-hours emergencies, UrgentVet’s innovative business model prioritizes compassion, affordability, and convenience. The new Louisville 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.
Dr. Jim Dobies, DVM, and Founder of UrgentVet, expressed his enthusiasm for the expansion, stating, “The opening of UrgentVet-Louisville reflects our commitment to enhancing the well-being of pets and supporting pet parents in the Louisville area. With a considerable percentage of households owning at least one pet, we understand the demand for accessible care, especially during non-traditional hours.”
Pet parents seeking urgent care can save their spot online to reduce wait times at the clinic or walk in, ensuring timely care for their pets when needed most.
UrgentVet has garnered high review ratings in the other cities it serves, showcasing its commitment to excellence in pet care. Across its nationwide clinics, UrgentVet has been praised for its compassionate approach, affordability, and professionalism, providing pet owners with peace of mind knowing their furry companions are in capable hands.
UrgentVet-Louisville marks the first location in Kentucky and the 64th clinic nationwide. With locations spanning across various states, including Colorado, Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, Florida, The Carolinas, Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin, UrgentVet continues to provide convenient and affordable care for pets across the United States.
UrgentVet-Louisville 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, contribute to making UrgentVet-Louisville one of the most comfortable pet care facilities in the 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. Dr. Dobies emphasized UrgentVet’s commitment to providing relief and reducing stress for both pets and pet parents. “An unexpected injury or illness can be a traumatic experience for both the pet and pet parent. Our hope is that our arrival helps to eliminate at least some of that stress for those in and around the Louisville area,” he added.
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 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.
