Meet Our TEam
Michigan's original urgent care veterinary center — right here in Ann Arbor. We exist for the moments that can't wait until tomorrow but don't belong in an emergency room. Our veterinarians and care team are experienced, passionate, and genuinely love what they do. More than anything, they love the animals — and the people — they care for.
What is Urgent Vet Care?
Animal Urgent Center fills the gap between your regular vet and the emergency room. Urgent care is for problems that need attention today — not life-threatening, but not something that can wait. Think vomiting, limping, ear infections, allergic reactions, or minor wounds. If you're unsure whether your pet needs urgent care or a full ER, give us a call — we're happy to help you figure it out.
