URvet has closed

May 5, 2025 Pets

URvet, the local chain that opened a location here at 200 Chambers in 2023, has closed this location. (Thanks to P. and N. for the heads up.)

The company still has three other locations in Midtown, the Upper East Side and Astoria. Aimee Stoopler founded the business with her husband, Evan, who was a trader on Wall Street and saw opportunity in the veterinary space. They opened their first URvet last fall on the Upper East Side; when we spoke in 2023 they were aiming to open another four by end of summer and four behind that in the next year. This office was staffed by six vets who toggled between two locations at the time.

This is a good time for a vet round-up. Comment with the ones I missed.

The newest kid is Tribeca Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery, which took the space that was Plaza M nails at 68 N. Moore, just east of Greenwich.

Then there’s the OGs:

Tribeca Veterinary Wellness on West Street and Laight is now Ivy Pets and Dr. Alex Pietrzyk is now a part of the Ivy Pet team. They have a new website and phone: 212-732-7474.

Worth Street Veterinary Center at 77 Worth between Church and Broadway is still privately owned — it opened here in 2010. Reade Street Animal Hospital is now a branch of the Thrive Pet Healthcare network out of Austin. And Tribeca Soho Animal Hospital is on Sixth Avenue between Spring and Prince and was on Lispenard for years.

    Ugh, just got a new puppy a few months ago and loved going to URVet Care! Does anyone have any recommendations for the other 3 clinics in the area as we search for a new provider? Thanks!

    Through the years, I have taken three dogs to Tribeca SoHo. Dr. Lee and her staff are the best!
