EmergenciesEmergency and urgent cases are seen only during regular clinic hours, which the homepage, services page, contact page and emergency page all state. After hours the site directs owners to Veterinary Specialty Hospital on 760-466-0600, which it describes as open evenings, weekends and holidays, and says a pet needing intensive overnight care will be recommended for transfer to a nearby 24/7 animal hospital. The site also warns that wait times are unpredictable and that owners may be sent to the after-hours hospital if a case cannot be fitted into the schedule.

Before the bill

Pet insurance covers the next thing, not this one.

Anything already going on counts as pre-existing from the day a policy starts. That is why the time to look is before the visit that costs, not after it.
