Veterinary Emergency in Marina del Rey

Shane Veterinary Medical Center provides emergency veterinary care for cats and dogs during our regular clinic hours. It's always best to contact us in advance if you can, but we understand that in emergency situations that's not always possible. 

If we are unable to fit your pet into our schedule, we recommend that you visit the 24/7 emergency vet location shown above. 

Our veterinarians see emergency cases during our regular business hours:

The following situations are examples of emergencies that require immediate care:

• Seizures and/or staggering

Our Marina del Rey animal hospital is just like a human doctor's office—it can be unpredictable and you may have to wait. 

We cannot predict what cases we will see and when they will arrive. If possible, call ahead to find out whether we are able to provide emergency care for your dog or cat.

If we are unable to fit an emergency appointment into our vet's schedule during our regular hours, we recommend that you visit the 24/7 animal emergency hospital detailed above. 

Some veterinary emergencies require intensive overnight care. At Shane Veterinary Medical Center we provide overnight care for animals in need.

While in our care, our dedicated team will treat your pet as if they were our own.
