Steps to Take In A Pet Emergency
If you are experiencing a veterinary emergency, follow the steps below.
- Call Ahead If Possible - During regular business hours, please call us as soon as possible to see if our clinic is able to see your pet right away. If your pet's medical emergency occurs outside of our regular business hours, please contact the 24/7 emergency hospital above (ACCESS Los Angeles).
- Follow Instructions Provided - When you call to let the emergency pet hospital know you are on your way, instructions may be provided to help you apply first aid or otherwise make your pet as comfortable as possible. Follow these instructions carefully.
- Remain Calm - Remain calm and be extra careful around your pet. When an animal is in pain, they often react negatively towards anyone trying to help and could bite or scratch.
- Bring Your Pet In For Care - Do not put yourself at risk! Safely drive your pet to our Marina del Rey veterinary clinic or the after-hours emergency vet location above.
