Emergency and urgent care vets in California
Practices in California that say they take emergency or urgent cases include ABC Veterinary Hospital Pacific Beach in San Diego, Ark Animal Hospital in San Diego, B Street Veterinary Hospital in San Diego, Bayview Veterinary Center in San Diego and Bernardo Heights Veterinary Hospital in San Diego, and 511 more listed below by city. 71 of them say they are open 24 hours.
516 practices across 223 cities, out of the 3,288 we list in California. Each one says so on its own website, which is where we read it.
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.
