Emergency Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Emergencies are accepted anytime the doctor is in and the clinic is open. If you feel you have an emergency, please call us immediately at 760-758-2091. If possible, it is best to call first to ensure the doctors and staff are ready and available to assist your pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life threatening emergencies always take precedence over regularly scheduled appointments. We have a veterinarian and support staff on duty 5 days a week. Our staff is trained and equipped to handle any emergency your pet may have. Usually an emergency team consists of at least one veterinarian and several technicians working together to save a pet\u2019s life. Emergencies can be things such a poisoning, hit by car, bee sting or chocolate ingestion. If you feel that your pet needs emergency treatment do not hesitate to call or come in immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urgent Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are also available for Urgent Care when the condition is not life-threatening, but requires prompt medical attention. Our receptionists will accommodate your pet by scheduling the next availability or \u201csqueezing you in\u201d between scheduled appointments. When you arrive, our receptionists will be able to give you an estimate on wait time, if any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
