It’s essential to plan for future travel to ensure your dog meets the requirements to enter the United States.

 Urgent Care

In addition to treating General Medicine patients, Dr. Tamara Kremer Mecabell, Dr. Julie Shields, and Dr. Natasha Pakravan also serve our Urgent Care patients. Angell’s Urgent Care service bridges the gap between primary and emergency care.

Drs. Kremer Mecabell, Shields, and Pakravan treat animals with conditions that require timely treatment but do not require our Emergency/Critical Care service. Urgent Care is an appointment-based service, not a walk-in service, with appointments often available within 24 hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
