Bringing Trusted Care Back To The Former Pet+ER Location

VivaVets Animal Hospital

Urgent Care Returns to Former Pet+ER Location: VivaVets Animal Hospital Now Open Bridging the gap between your family vet and the ER with Sunday hours, same day appointments available, and transparent pricing for Columbia pets. VivaVets Animal Hospital has officially launched in the iconic facility, but with a new mission. Founded by Dr. Kanwal Sharma, VivaVets is an independent, veterinarian-owned practice specializing in Veterinary Urgent Care and Lifestyle Medicine. The "Middle Ground" Your Pet Needs Most pet owners know the frustration of a Friday night ear infection or a Sunday morning paw injury. Your regular vet is closed, but the 24/7 Emergency Room warns of a six-hour wait and a four-figure bill. VivaVets was built to solve this exact problem. By focusing on "urgent but stable" cases—such as minor wounds, toxins, vomiting, and infections—VivaVets offers a faster, more affordable alternative to the traditional ER. What to Expect: • Sunday Availability: Open 10 AM – 8 PM (Closed Wed/Sat) • Same Day Appointments: No long wait hours for urgent care needs. • ER Technology, Local Feel: Advanced in-house diagnostics, state of the art digital X-rays, and ultrasound paired with a warm, independent clinic atmosphere. • Specialty Care: The hospital hosts in-person cardiology clinics every other Friday, eliminating the need for long-distance specialty travel for Howard County residents. • Lifestyle and Lifestage Medicine &amp; Beyond: In addition to urgent care, VivaVets offers life-stage plans to keep your pets healthy from puppyhood through their senior years. "We aren't just a clinic in a building; we are a part of this neighborhood," says Dr. Sharma. "We wanted to bring trusted, timely care back to this location so that pet parents never have to choose between their schedule and their pet's health." Visit VivaVets Today! VivaVets is now accepting new patients. Whether you need a wellness checkup or immediate care for a sick pet, the team is ready to help.
