About Allied

Where Every Team Member is Invested in the Care of Your Pet.

Allied is an employee-owned group of veterinary practices. This is a rarity in our profession, and we feel this makes us incredibly special. Over the last decade, large, private equity backed corporations have purchased thousands of animal clinics across the country, creating distance between patient, pet owner, and practitioner, while placing an emphasis on finances instead of access to care.

Our Founder, Dr. Kara Nelsen, chose the opposite route – to not only build a network of hospitals to provide exceptional care to pets, but to also offer exceptional career opportunities to our team members. This investment benefits everyone and keeps decision-making in the hands of those who directly impact the health and well-being of our beloved animals.

The Allied Mission

To prioritize our team, allowing them to provide the highest quality care in support of our community’s pets, clients, and referring clinics.

We Live by Our Core Values

Testimonials

“The staff and company truly care for pets and owners. This is my top choice for after-hours and ER care.”

- Ashley S.

“So incredibly thankful for the staff at Allied Vet Emergency Services! From the moment I got to the vet clinic, the staff was extremely professional, courteous, and supportive.”

- Nichole M.

“End up in the ER with our cat last night. We saw Dr. Robyn. Dr. Robyn took her time and carefully listened to us. She took time looking at our Mavis. She helped us get care on our budget, which was so needed. We just got this cat a week ago and unfortunately, she ended up very sick due to her spay getting infected and then developing a upper respiratory infection at the pet store. Thank you so much for caring for Mavis and for giving us the information on where else to go for our income level. I want you to know that what you did for us last night means the world to me. Mavis thanks you as well.”

- Tri-Pod

“My special little bud became very sick and had degraded to the point of having to make a very tough decision. I called many clinics in town for information so I could make an informed decision and the choice to go to Allied became crystal clear. Through this difficult process It was overtly evident as to the professionalism and quite frankly the very high level of empathic intelligence exercised by the nurse at the front desk and the doctor who guided us through this process. All of the many little personal details about this process were noticed and accommodated by this exceedingly compassionate staff, even down to the perfect amount of time before a much appreciated follow up correspondence. Allied and their staff are seemingly the finest clinic in the cities, and I am grateful to have been in their hands at this juncture.”

- Jeff S.

“I called asking to see if my dog was at risk after ingesting something they weren’t supposed to, and the girl that answered was awesome. She was very kind and reassured me that my dog was going to be fine. If I ever have an emergency when my regular vet is closed, I will definitely give come back.”

- Heather K.

“The staff was so kind. They provided the best care.”

- Katie S.

“From all stories you hear about ER pet visits, I was expecting a very long wait. To my surprise, Allied took our baby back. Within 10 to 15 minutes we were with the doctor. Although, our circumstances were grime, they were professional, compassionate, and cared for our pup with the deepest of empathy. Thank you for a wonderful experience on one of worst days.”

- Stacy H.

“I cannot say enough good things about Allied Emergency Vet! They took such great care of my dog. They were incredibly careful and thorough with his care and I felt very at ease through the entire visit. Fairly affordable for an emergency vet visit, too. They are also incredibly transparent about the cost. I was told how much the visit was going to be and what the test would cost before I even arrived at the clinic. Once we had a better idea of his care, they provided me a very detailed estimate. He came home with a big smile on his face and is back to normal today! Thank you all SO much!”
