Veterinary urgent care clinic provides after-hours care for non-emergent health issues
[Smithfield, RI], August 2025 — UrgentVet, a pioneer in urgent care for pets, announced today that it will open a location in Smithfield, RI at 473 Putnam Pike, Ste B6 on August 21st, 2025. The new facility will provide prompt and attentive veterinary care at convenient times for local pet owners.
“Pets often experience illness or injury outside of regular veterinary office hours, but these issues don’t always require emergency attention,” said Dr. Stephanie Smith, VP of Medicine for UrgentVet. “Smithfield UrgentVet offers a solution for concerned pet owners who need prompt care for their pets but can’t wait for an appointment with their regular veterinarian.”
Like human urgent care clinics, UrgentVet is open evenings, weekends, and holidays to provide treatment for common pet illnesses and injuries such as vomiting, diarrhea, toxin ingestion, minor wounds, and limping.
Pet parents can reserve an appointment online or walk in to receive high-quality care from a Fear Free Certified™ veterinary team with experience in general and emergency medicine.
With clinics in 25 states and counting, UrgentVet aims to ensure pet owners have convenient and reliable access to veterinary care when their companion is sick or injured. “When a pet is suffering, it is stressful for the pet parent and hard on the pet,” said Dr. Stephanie. “We’re here so people can bring their pet right in, find out what’s wrong, and get their pet on the road to recovery.”
UrgentVet has built an exceptional reputation for providing compassionate, high-quality care to pets and their owners without the stress or high costs associated with emergency hospitals. Smithfield veterinarians can trust UrgentVet as a reliable extension of their own practices, confidently referring clients when they are unavailable.
UrgentVet is committed to maintaining open communication and providing detailed referral updates, working hand-in-hand with primary care veterinarians to offer seamless continuity of care for every pet.
UrgentVet looks forward to partnering with general practice veterinarians, other urgent and emergency clinics, as well as pet-centric businesses in and around Smithfield to improve pet health and welfare.
