Uintah Pet Emergency

What Uintah Pet Emergency does

Uintah Pet Emergency is a single-location emergency veterinary hospital in Colorado Springs, Colorado, operating since 2014 under the National Veterinary Associates (NVA) network. The clinic provides walk-in emergency and critical care services to dog and cat owners in Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, Fountain, and surrounding areas, with no appointment required and hours covering nights, weekends, and holidays seven days a week. Core service lines include emergency examinations, in-house STAT laboratory diagnostics, digital radiography, diagnostic ultrasound, emergency surgery (foreign body removal, tumor removal, injury repair), an in-house pharmacy, an isolation ward, oxygen therapy, and multi-modal pain management. Patients requiring overnight or 24/7 continuous care beyond the clinic's hours are transferred to a partner facility, Southern Rockies Animal Emergency + Specialties.

The practice was co-founded by Dr. David Glover (DVM) and Dr. Lee Wilwerding, with Dr. Marek Mrzyglocki (DVM) joining in summer 2024. The team comprises approximately 8 employees based at the 1635 W Uintah St location. The underlying technology stack is standard for a modern emergency veterinary clinic — digital imaging, ultrasound, and onsite laboratory — with no proprietary software, AI, or platform components. After treatment, patient records are forwarded to the pet's primary care veterinarian for follow-up care continuity, creating a referral loop with the broader primary vet community.

The business model is fee-for-service, transaction-based, with payment due in full at time of service. Accepted payment channels include pet health insurance, major credit cards, cash, and financing through CareCredit and ScratchPay. Discounts are offered to seniors, military, and first responders. Ancillary revenue comes from cremation services. Wildlife cases are referred to the Wild Forever Foundation. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, relying primarily on the company website, local SEO, direct phone contact, and primary vet referrals as marketing channels.
