An “all hours” pet hospital has unveiled its first Johnson County location, celebrating a milestone in the process.

Veterinary Emergency Group celebrated the grand opening of its new Overland Park hospital at the beginning of the month.

The Overland Park location also serves as the 100th clinic overall for the New York-based company.
