About Veterinary Urgent Care
Veterinary Urgent Care provides fast and affordable medical and surgical veterinary care for cats and dogs when they need it the most. If you are concerned about your pet, just call us or bring them directly to the hospital for evaluation by our veterinary medical team.
Our Mission
We are Houston’s first independently owned animal urgent care facility. We operate to serve the community of Houston and provide affordable urgent care services after hours. We exist to create a safe space for people and animals while providing the community with veterinary care.
Veterinary Urgent Care was created in November 2021, and we will open a physical practice in September 2022. Our focus is to provide urgent veterinary care when pets need it. We also offer spay/neuter services to continue to combat the pet overpopulation issues in Houston. We love Houston, specifically the East End because it is a diverse, resilient, inspiring community. We feel inspired every day to serve this community and the people and pets who live within it.
Dr. Mackenzie Gallegos has a passion for urgent care medicine and providing veterinary care to underserved populations of pets. She lives in the East End and enjoys all the food and art.
