UrgentVet Pet Clinic opens in Belmont
First UrgentVet opens in Belmont
Dr. Jim Dobies, owner of South Point Pet Hospital in Belmont for the past 10 years, is helping to create a new type of pet care with the opening of UrgentVet Pet Clinic at 600-A Park St. in Belmont.
He told Montcross Area Chamber members attending the grand opening his UrgentVet practice is the first of its type in the country filling a void between traditional veterinary clinics and emergency pet hospitals. Urgent Vet is designed to treat cats and dogs in pain or in need of care that is not an emergency at night and on weekends when most primary care clinics are closed.
