+ After-hours vet opens in Rosemary
RosemaryVet LLC, the area’s only strictly after-hours general veterinary practice, has opened at 650 Central Ave. RosemaryVet caters to pet owners who find it difficult to get their animal companions to the vet during regular business hours.

RosemaryVet is open daily and takes appointments from 4:30 to 11 p.m. on weekdays and from noon until 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. The practice offers a full range of general veterinary services for dogs, cats and small pets, including wellness care, vaccinations, diagnostics and treatment, digital radiology, ultrasound, laboratory work, surgery and dentistry.

“Our new clinic is only open after hours, and our intent is to serve the needs of those who otherwise might have to take off work or who like the convenience of being able to see the vet without interrupting leisure time,” said Manager Marc Pacelli. “We think people will like the option of getting home, eating dinner and still having time to get their animal companions the care they need.”
