Meet Cassie Knapp, DVM
Chief Medical Officer

Dr. Cassie Knapp brings a wealth of experience to her role as the Chief Medical Officer of UrgentPaws. With an impressive 15-year career as a practicing veterinarian, including intensive work in the emergency room, Dr. Knapp has developed a deep understanding of urgent needs.

Addressing the Gap

Recognizing a critical gap between the wellness and emergency options for pets, she was inspired to launch UrgentPaws. Her vision was clear:

“Create a space that combines the compassion of traditional veterinary practices with the efficiency of urgent care.”

This innovative approach ensures that your pets receive high-quality and compassionate care in a timely manner.

Our Mission

Under Dr. Knapp's leadership, UrgentPaws operates with a clear mission:

“Deliver exceptional veterinary care that provides peace of mind in a moment of urgent need.”

This mission reflects her commitment to improving access to high-quality care.

We treat every pet as if they were our own, providing high-quality, compassionate care.

Stay with your pet

At UrgentPaws, there is no mystery door. We don’t "take your pet to the back" without inviting you to be by their side.

Know the price before treatment

We only recommend what is truly necessary to deliver the highest quality care and you approve every line before we begin.

Your own room, from start to finish

We don’t make you wait in the lobby, upon arrival we bring you straight to your own private room in a soothing environment.

Skip the 24-hour ER

For non-life-threatening emergencies, we have the same diagnostic and treatments as the ER, without the ER wait and cost.
