Get to Know Us
The biggest thing to know about us? We’re equally fans of pets, their people, and continuity of care.
The story behind our cause
During his years working in the veterinary emergency room, Dr. Nir Ben-Ari noticed something. Most of the cases he treated were urgent, but they weren’t life-threatening. Nir faced an important question: why crowd emergency hospitals with cases that could be safely managed in a more comfortable outpatient setting? And so, PetMedic was born. Since then, Nir has been joined by a team of experienced doctors and technicians who help him fill the void in extended day, weekend, and holiday care. And we’re just getting started.
The big picture
As a part of Rarebreed Veterinary Partners’ ecosystem, PetMedic urgent care clinics manage extended day, non-emergency cases – providing relief to general practices and emergency hospitals.
Our values
Here’s what makes us “us” – and what you can expect every time you walk through our doors.
Love
We love animals – and we treat each patient like our own.
Respect
We like working together, and we show up each day to treat every patient and owner with dignity and kindness.
Integrity
You trust us to recommend the best treatment for your pet – and we take that responsibility seriously.
Knowledge
For us, learning is a lifelong process of staying current with the latest advancements.
To our veterinary community
First of all, thank you. Pet care never stops, so you don’t, either. Whether you’re a family veterinarian or working in the emergency setting, we couldn’t be more grateful for the fundamental role you play in pets’ lives – and we want to help you protect your time. We’re here for your off-hours and non-life-threatening cases – so your practice can be fully “on” when and where it needs to be.
These pet parents say it best
Joanne D., Cat Mom
“It was time for end-of-life care for our beloved pet, Sam. From the moment I walked through the door, I was treated with kindness and compassion. Lauren and Dr. Giguere ensured that I understood the process and had time to start the grieving process. They both were confidently gentle, as if they were caring for their own pet. Your kindness is what was needed most, and I want to thank you. Hugs.”
Andrea S., Cat Mom
“When it became very clear that our dear Cali had reached the end of her days with us, we were so grateful to be able to make an appointment on short notice on a Saturday to have her put down. Dr. Giguere and vet tech Lauren (I hope I got that right!) were so very compassionate and gentle with both Cali and us. Their process is so thoughtful, and we had all the time we needed to be alone with her and bid her the gentlest and most loving of goodbyes. So very difficult, but we strongly recommend this practice!“
Lindsey M., Dog Mom
“We’ve, unfortunately, had to visit PetMedic multiple times for our dogs – they love having issues just outside of normal office hours. Each time we’ve gotten great care, from when we arrive to when we leave. The entire staff is welcoming and easy to work with. We’ve gotten some bad news before, and they were fantastic at communicating and giving next steps. The prices are reasonable – midway between a normal vet visit and what you’d pay at Port City. And they’re very upfront and transparent about costs. Highly recommend them for when your normal vet isn’t available!“
