Business briefs: Purple Paws urgent care, Sharp opens multi-specialty care clinic

Purple Paws expands veterinary urgent care

Purple Paws Pet Clinic has expanded its veterinary urgent care services and welcomed Dr. Jennifer Jellison to its medical team. The clinic now offers same-day urgent care Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. for pets with illnesses or injuries that require prompt attention but are not life-threatening emergencies. Purple Paws said the expanded service is intended to give Coronado pet owners a local alternative to leaving the island for urgent veterinary care, with a long-term goal of expanding hours as the program grows.
