Rancho San Carlos Pet Clinic is a full-service companion animal hospital at 7850 Golfcrest Dr in San Diego, serving the area since 1976 and seeing dogs and cats. It offers wellness and preventative care, surgery including laparoscopic spays, in-house radiology and laboratory work, complete dental care, acupuncture, chronic disease management and telemedicine for existing clients.
After hoursThe clinic states plainly on its emergency resources page: 'Please note that we are not an emergency hospital. Due to area shortages, we do not carry blood products.' It holds back urgent appointment slots each day, but only for current clients, and non-scheduled or drop-off visits incur additional fees. For urgent problems it recommends Tell Tail Veterinary Urgent Care in San Diego, and after hours it lists 24-hour hospitals including VCA Animal Specialty Group Kearny Mesa, Veterinary Specialty Hospital Sorrento Valley, and Veterinary Emergency Group Encinitas. Avian and exotic emergencies are referred to Pet Emergency & Specialty Center in La Mesa.
