Emergency and urgent care vets in San Francisco, CA
9 practices in San Francisco say they take emergency or urgent cases. 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.
Take urgent cases in their own hours 9
Mission Pet Hospital
720 Valencia St
From their website: Emergency care is offered during office hours only: "During office hours, our hospital stands ready to provide exceptional emergency care for our valued clients." The practice asks clients to call first rather than walk in unannounced. Technicians provide overnight care for patients already hospitalized, which is not the same as after-hours emergency intake, and the site states no after-hours or 24-hour service.
Veterinary Vision Animal Eye Specialists
1235A Taraval St, San Francisco, CA, 94116
From their website: Sudden, severe or injury-related eye problems may be an emergency; the site directs clients to call for a daytime appointment Monday to Saturday and describes instructions for reaching a doctor for after-hours emergencies.
Arguello Pet Hospital
Marie Battle
530 Arguello Blvd, San Francisco, CA, 94118
From their website: During office hours only, and by phone first. The hospital's own ER and Referrals page says to call the office so it can help navigate the situation, that it may refer pets needing more specialized or intensive care to a recommended emergency and specialty hospital, and that if it is closed clients should go straight to one of the outside emergency hospitals it lists, among them San Francisco Animal Medical Center and SAGE San Francisco.
Remedy Veterinary Specialists
Caroline Jurney
216 11th St, San Francisco, CA, 94103
From their website: Not a walk-in emergency hospital. The site says to call during business hours if you need urgent care and that there is weekday after-hours emergency on-call, but for a life-threatening emergency, or anything outside business hours, it directs you to one of fifteen outside emergency hospitals it lists, among them Animal Care & Emergency Services and SAGE Veterinary Centers in San Francisco. Closed weekends and all federal holidays.
Balboa Pet Hospital
3329 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA, 94121-2703
From their website: Emergencies are seen during hospital hours, and the site asks you to call ahead if you can.

SF Vet Hospital
2001 Harrison St
From their website: Same-day urgent care and emergencies are available during clinic hours, seven days a week; no overnight care is described.
Blue Cross Pet Hospital
1386 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, CA, 94115-4716
From their website: Urgent care is listed as a service and the appointments page asks you to call directly if your pet needs urgent care, but the site states "We are not a 24 hour emergency facility and do not function as a walk-in critical care facility." The policies page adds "We are a daytime outpatient veterinary practice. Patients that require intensive care will be referred to a 24 hour care facility."
