The Milwaukee North Shore clinic is the first location to open in Wisconsin. UrgentVet- North Shore opened its doors to the public on February 8, 2024, and is planning to add other locations around Metro-Milwaukee. UrgentVet offers same-day veterinary care for minor injuries and illness in cats and dogs. Common conditions treated include vomiting, diarrhea, lameness, urinary tract disease, skin and ear conditions, eye problems, lacerations, scrapes, respiratory ailments, and stomach concerns. UrgentVet does not treat exotics, rodents, or large farm animals nor life-threatening emergencies including an animal hit by a car, amputation, overnight hospitalization, pneumonia, or kidney failure. Instead, pet owners should go directly to an Emergency Vet Hospital.
UrgentVet provides urgent care for pets, much like an urgent care center for people. They’re here to bridge the gap between a primary veterinarian and the ER. Their mission is to provide fast, effective, and after-hour relief for furry loved loves. “I am super excited to be part of this amazing organization,” said Julie Ericson, Practice Manager, UrgentVet-North Shore. “We have a pet first, client first model meaning we want to do what is best for the client and their pet! As a practice with a Fear Free Certified staff, we are always thinking of ways to help make the patient feel most comfortable. The UV – North Shore group is amazing, and I am so proud to work with them every day!” In addition to being a “fear-free” certified care team, UrgentVet offers pet parents savings of up to 40% less than regular pet emergency hospitals.
Pet owners can receive immediate care with no appointments, but UrgentVet- North Shore encourages reservations through their website here. Open 365 days per year, their current hours of operation are:
· Monday-Friday: 3pm-11pm
· Saturday-Sunday: 10am-8pm
· Holidays: 12pm-8pm
