Emergency and urgent care vets in Los Angeles, CA

31 practices in Los Angeles say they take emergency or urgent cases, and 2 say they are open 24 hours. Each one says so on its own website or in its own name.

These practices describe urgent or emergency work on their own websites. That is not the same as being open right now, and it is not the same as a dedicated emergency hospital: hours change, rotas change, and a practice that takes urgent cases on a weekday may not on a Sunday. Phone before you drive. If an animal is in trouble this minute, call the nearest emergency veterinary hospital rather than working down a list.

Affordable Animal Hospital Silver Lake

2417 Riverside Dr

Posted hours include Sunday

From their website: Limited. The site calls what it offers "non-emergency veterinary urgent care" in its own words, available during opening hours only. It never claims after-hours or 24-hour care and never names a hospital it refers people to after closing. Every page footer publishes a separate number to text for emergency services, (323) 664-2188, which is not the main line. The site's own /services/emergency-services/ page has been retired and now redirects to the general services list, and the homepage link labelled "Urgent Care" points at the surgical care page.

Cumulus Animal Hospital

3321 S La Cienega Blvd

From their website: Same-day and next-day urgent care during business hours only. The urgent care page ends "We're here to assist you during our regular business hours. Please call or come in right away if you have ANY concerns about your pet!" The site does not name an after-hours emergency hospital to go to instead.

Los Angeles Veterinary Center

The site publishes a weekday and Saturday schedule with Sunday closed, makes no 24-hour, overnight or after-hours claim anywhere, and names no after-hours emergency hospital to call when it is shut.
