Dr. Jim Dobies, DVM, and Founder of UrgentVet, expressed his enthusiasm for this expansion, stating, “The opening of UrgentVet-Lexington marks another significant milestone in our mission to enhance the well-being of pets and support pet parents. With a thriving pet population in Lexington, including numerous pet-friendly areas such as Wellington Dog Park and Masterson Station Park, we recognize the demand for accessible care, especially during non-traditional hours.”
Pet parents in need of urgent care at UrgentVet-Lexington can conveniently save their spot online or just or walk in, ensuring timely care for their pets when needed most.
UrgentVet has consistently received high review ratings in the cities it serves, emphasizing its commitment to excellence in pet care. UrgentVet-Lexington is the 68th clinic in the nationwide network, and in line with UrgentVet’s mission, the clinic pledges to provide compassionate and affordable care for pets in the Lexington community.
Designed to offer a low-stress experience for both pets and pet parents, UrgentVet-Lexington features species- and size-specific exam rooms, non-slip flooring, dimmable lighting, soothing colors, soft music, calming pheromones, and quiet exam lift tables. The clinic utilizes revolutionary tempered glass pet enclosures from Casco, designed to be 70% quieter than metal cages, making UrgentVet-Lexington an ideal place for the anxious pet in need of same-day care.
“At UrgentVet, we are committed to creating an environment where our furry patients feel comfortable and at ease during their visit,” said Dobies. “A pet’s emotional well-being is important when treating their physical health.”
Equipped with an in-house laboratory and state-of-the-art equipment, including digital radiography and ultrasound technology, UrgentVet-Lexington is committed to delivering the highest quality of care. Dr. Dobies emphasized UrgentVet’s dedication to providing relief and reducing stress for both pets and pet parents, stating, “Our arrival aims to eliminate at least some of the angst associated with unexpected injuries or illnesses for those in and around the Lexington area.”
UrgentVet-Lexington is well-positioned to address common conditions requiring immediate attention but not serious enough for hospitalization. The clinic offers same-day care for conditions such as vomiting, diarrhea, limping, itching, coughing, not eating, minor wounds, and back pain.
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.
