When a pet needs attention sooner than a routine appointment, the key question is whether a particular clinic can receive that animal and concern at the time help is needed. Cedar Rapids Animal Hospital’s official website lists “Urgent Pet Care” among its services and publishes Dr. Marty Weber’s veterinarian profile. Those are useful starting points, but the page’s regular office schedule does not by itself establish after-hours emergency intake or walk-in rules.
What Dr. Weber’s profile can tell you
The hospital identifies Dr. Weber as its chief of staff. His profile says he earned his DVM from Iowa State University in 2001, joined Cedar Rapids Animal Hospital in 2006, became a partner in 2010, and became owner in 2014. It also names his professional interests as diabetes management, challenging medical cases that can be resolved surgically, and dentistry.
This background can help frame a conversation about a concern related to those interests. It is not a complete list of the hospital’s services, a promise that Dr. Weber is available for an urgent visit, or confirmation that a particular case can be treated there immediately. The hospital’s separate urgent-care listing is relevant to the question of prompt care; current intake still depends on the clinic’s instructions.
Use regular office hours as a planning reference
Cedar Rapids Animal Hospital publishes regular hours of Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to noon. Sunday is listed as closed. These are the posted office hours, not proof that urgent care is available throughout those times or that the clinic receives emergency cases outside them. The website also directs visitors to immediate pet care information and holiday hours, which may be relevant when planning around a closure.
The business listing for Weber Marty DVM categorizes the place as Emergency Veterinary and shows an address of 1000 Memorial Dr SE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52403. That listing is a useful local reference, but its category does not settle the clinic’s current intake process. For a time-sensitive concern, use the hospital’s official contact details to establish whether this is the right destination now.
Make one focused call before choosing a destination
The hospital’s official page gives the phone number as (319) 366-0479. Briefly describe the animal, the immediate concern, and when it began, then ask whether the hospital is currently receiving patients with that issue and what arrival instructions apply. If the concern relates to a known diagnosis, medication, or prior treatment, mention that information if it helps the staff understand the situation. The purpose is to communicate clearly and get direction, not to diagnose the pet over the phone.
If the hospital says it cannot receive the case, ask what next step it recommends and verify the receiving provider’s location and instructions before traveling. If the clinic confirms that it can receive the pet, follow its directions about arrival. This focused check is more dependable than interpreting the words “Urgent Pet Care,” a map entry, or posted regular hours as a guarantee of immediate intake.
Check the address and weigh directory details appropriately
The official hospital address is 1000 Memorial Dr SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403. The local listing gives the same street address and phone number, which can help identify the intended Cedar Rapids location. Confirm that this is the correct place for the specific visit when you call, particularly if staff provide different instructions for an urgent arrival.
The listing displays a 5.0 rating based on 8 reviews. That small set of customer ratings may offer context about past experiences, but it cannot establish present availability, suitability for an individual case, or a likely medical outcome. For an urgent decision, current information from the hospital about intake and destination matters more than a rating or category label.
Decide based on current instructions, not assumptions
For pet owners considering Dr. Marty Weber’s hospital in Cedar Rapids, the available evidence provides several distinct points: a veterinarian profile with his role and stated interests, an official urgent-care service listing, published regular office hours, and a local listing with the address and contact number. It does not establish 24-hour emergency service or universal walk-in acceptance.
Use the posted schedule to understand the clinic’s regular hours, the profile to understand Dr. Weber’s professional background, and a direct conversation with the hospital to determine whether it can receive the pet now. If the situation seems immediately dangerous, seek real-time direction from a veterinary emergency provider rather than waiting for a routine appointment or relying on directory information alone.
