About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At UrgentVet in Lakewood, every Wednesday around sunset, a regular would notice something peculiar on the vet’s counter: an old, dusty jar filled with tiny bones and a sign reading ‘Free Samples.’ Nobody dared ask questions. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘What are those little bones for?’ The vet smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘It’s our secret recipe for calming pets during thunderstorms.’ Turned out they were just miniature treats shaped like bones. Everyone laughed, and the weekly ritual continued, leaving everyone with a warm feeling that week.

2. At UrgentVet in Lakewood, late one night after closing, a delivery driver noticed an unusual package left on the loading dock. Curious but cautious, he picked it up and found inside… a small, sleepy penguin wearing a little red sweater. The delivery driver carefully placed the fuzzy bundle into the nearest kennel, then called his friend, a vet tech who happened to be nearby. Together they fed the penguin some fish and watched as its eyes slowly opened with a yawn. The next morning, the penguin was gone—just another regular customer at UrgentVet, probably off for more adventures.

3. At UrgentVet in Lakewood, on foggy mornings, a delivery driver noticed a strange routine: the receptionist’s shadow seemed to follow patients into examination rooms. One day, a delivery driver mentioned it to his friend, who happened to be the vet next door. They both laughed it off as an optical illusion until they saw the receptionist waving goodbye from behind a patient’s ear. Turned out she just had really good hearing and loved her job so much that she wanted to stay involved even after hours.

4. At UrgentVet in Lakewood, during early morning shifts, a delivery driver often wondered: why did the receptionist keep whispering ‘puppy emergency’ whenever she saw him? Finally, one night, the delivery driver overheard her say it aloud: 'Oh no, here comes Mr. Snuggles again!' Turned out, every time he arrived, their dog would rush from under the bed for an urgent midnight snack. Ever since then, they called him the ‘Urgent Vet Puppy Emergency Delivery Guy.’
