VetEvolve Expands Pennsylvania Presence with Pets Furst Urgent Care Partnership

Essex, MD – September 9, 2026 — VetEvolve, a leading community of veterinary practices built on the belief that strong clinical care and sustainable growth reinforce one another, announced its partnership with Pets Furst Urgent Care in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. The partnership continues VetEvolve’s relationship with Dr. Lawrence “Larry” Rebbecchi, who previously partnered with the organization through the sale of Philadelphia Animal Hospital in 2025.  

Pets Furst Urgent Care opened in February 2024 to provide convenient, timely veterinary care for pets throughout Bucks County and surrounding communities. Co-owned by Dr. Larry Rebbecchi and Mike Rebbecchi Sr., the four-doctor practice operates on a walk-in basis, treating illnesses and injuries without requiring an appointment. Mike Rebbecchi Sr. and Carol Rebbecchi serve as Practice Managers, while Dr. Jonas Colmer serves as Medical Director, leading the practice’s clinical team and patient care.  

“Welcoming the Pets Furst team into the VetEvolve community while having the opportunity to partner with the Rebbecchi family again is incredibly meaningful,” said Catherine Howell, Chief Executive Officer of VetEvolve. “Repeat partnerships like this reflect the relationships we strive to build — grounded in trust, transparency, and a shared commitment to supporting veterinary teams. Pets Furst also brings an exciting urgent care model to our community, and we look forward to working alongside its leadership and team as the practice continues to grow.”  

For Dr. Rebbecchi, the decision to partner with VetEvolve again follows his experience transitioning another practice to the organization in August 2025. 

“After partnering with VetEvolve, I saw firsthand that they delivered exactly what they said they would,” said Dr. Rebbecchi. “With Philadelphia Animal Hospital, they took so much of the day-to-day burden of practice ownership off my shoulders and gave me the ability to focus on what I enjoy most — practicing veterinary medicine. Our team is happy, we’re operating more efficiently, and the best part is that nothing about who we are as a practice has changed. That experience made choosing VetEvolve again with Pets Furst an easy decision.” 

“Pets Furst was built to give local pet owners a reliable place to turn when their pets need timely care,” said Mike Rebbecchi Sr., co-owner and Practice Manager of Pets Furst Urgent Care. “We’re incredibly proud of the team and walk-in care model we’ve built. Partnering with VetEvolve gives us additional support and resources to continue growing while preserving the local identity, culture, and approach to care that are so important to us.” 

Through the partnership, Pets Furst will maintain its local identity and walk-in care model while gaining access to VetEvolve’s operational resources and support. The addition further strengthens VetEvolve’s presence in Pennsylvania and across the Mid-Atlantic.
