Veterinary Urgent Care Center, one of the first urgent care hospitals in the country, officially opened its newest location in Narragansett, RI, marking the eighth hospital for the growing company whose roots began in the Northeast.
Staff from Veterinary Urgent Care Center were joined by members of the Southern RI Chamber of Commerce, members from Save One Soul Rescue, and other industry partners to officially host a ribbon cutting to commemorate the opening of the new facility.
Veterinary Urgent Care Center Narragansett is located at 91 Point Judith Rd. in the Salt Pond Plaza and is open 7 days a week.
“When we opened our doors in East Providence two years ago we knew there was a huge need in Rhode Island,” said Christie D’Andrea, DVM, founder and CEO of Veterinary Urgent Care Center. “We aim to be a resource for pet owners when they can’t get into their primary care and when they don’t want to go to the emergency department for non-emergent situations. We are excited to be a part of the community here in Southern Rhode Island and help pet owners and their beloved pets when they need it.”
Urgent care in veterinary medicine is for those instances when pet owners can’t book a same day appointment with their primary care veterinarian or when they don’t want to wait in long lines at 24/7 emergency medical centers for minor to moderate injuries and illness. VUCC Narragansett will operate Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and from 11 a.m to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Walk-ins are welcome daily at all VUCC locations.
The company also has locations in Braintree, Dedham, Easton, East Providence, RI, Plymouth, Saugus and Worcester. Pet owners interested in using the services at Veterinary Urgent Care Center Narragansett can book online or view hours before they walk-in at veturgentcare.com
