Charlotte, North Carolina veterinarian Jim Dobies' success stems from following a well-worn but proven entrepreneurial rule: if you can't find it, build it.
That's how UrgentVet got its start, in 2015. It now has nine locations nationally and six in Florida, including its newest one, in Sarasota, which opened in early June. It all started when Dobies worked at a general practice. He received feedback there from clients who were unsatisfied with the after hours vet options.
