Happy Animal

Urban Animal is expanding our expertise through a new service called Happy Animal. This new offering will help build better behavior inside and outside of the veterinary practice. Appointments are available starting January 6, 2025.

This new service will be provided by Micaela Young, DVM CPDT-KA, a certified professional dog trainer and veterinarian. Offering virtual, in-practice, and off-site behavior support services, you can schedule Comprehensive Behavior Consultations to tackle the challenges your pet faces in their daily life or Cooperative Vet Care Training to tackle the challenges your pet may face in receiving vet care or grooming.

Saturdays Shifting

STARTING NOVEMBER 2 : Saturdays Are Moving To Our Downtown Appointment-Only Model.

Urban Animal strives to provide veterinary care for all cats and dogs in our community. Accessibility is what Urban Animal was founded on in 2012 and continues to be our purpose. As access to veterinary care becomes increasingly more challenging across the industry and within our communities, demand for Urban’s walk-in model continues to grow.

The challenge Urban Animal (and others) face is the number of veterinary professionals needed to provide care. We have an incredible team at Urban Animal; we are strategizing creative solutions to address staff shortages, actively looking for more skilled and experienced veterinary professionals, and growing well-trained in-house staff to deliver the veterinary care patients need and clients seek.

Tenacity As A Superpower

Urban Animal’s Founder & CEO was a guest on Kristine Milkovich’s new podcast, Superpower. Dr. Cherri Trusheim sat down and talked about how she unleashes her inner hero guiding Urban Animal’s journey into building the veterinary industry’s largest worker cooperative.

CDC Implements New Travel Regulations For Dogs

Starting August 1, 2024, the Centers for Disease Control are implementing new regulations to control the entry of dogs into the United State from other counties, including Canada and Mexico. These new rules apply to ALL DOGS, including puppies, service animals, and dogs who left the United States and are returning. They also apply whether you are a U.S. citizen, legal U.S. resident, or foreign national.
