Indianapolis Animal Urgent Care

Indianapolis Animal Urgent Care is a veterinarian in Indianapolis, IN. It operates as a dedicated veterinary urgent care hospital for dogs and cats, providing care for illnesses, injuries, and emergencies without requiring appointments. The facility serves as a bridge between primary care veterinarians and emergency rooms, handling cases ranging from ear infections to emergency abdominal surgeries. It is open Monday through Friday from 12 PM to 10 PM and Saturday through Sunday from 10 AM to 8 PM. The business holds a rating of 4.80.

Founded by local Indianapolis emergency veterinarians, the hospital was created to offer compassionate, efficient, and transparent care for sick and injured pets. The founding team was motivated by concerns regarding the corporatization of veterinary medicine and the resulting long wait times and limited access to practical care. All veterinarians on staff have extensive backgrounds in emergency medicine, with experience in both general practice and emergency settings. The team includes Dr. Ashley Potts, Dr. Jacky Kulish, Dr. Emma Ryan, and Dr. Alex Murphy, who have practiced in the central Indiana area and specialize in areas such as feline medicine, surgery, and wound care. Support staff members like Amanda, Hans, and Brenda bring decades of experience in veterinary medicine and emergency care. The hospital offers in-house bloodwork, diagnostics, radiology, and imaging, along with services such as wound repair, abdominal surgery, fluid therapy, and stabilization of fractures. It does not perform routine vaccinations, dental procedures, elective surgeries like spays or neuters, or provide overnight hospitalization. The business is independently owned and locally operated, not affiliated with any other veterinary clinic or hospital.

The location sits on South East Street, which is adjacent to East McCarty Street. It is about a tenth of a mile from Edna Balz Lacy Park and a short distance from Lumen Christi Catholic School. The Dwight D Eisenhower Highway is approximately a third of a mile away.
