Sometimes your pet needs care today, not next week. At Ross Valley Veterinary Hospital, we offer same-day urgent care during regular business hours for situations that need prompt attention but aren’t life-threatening emergencies. If your pet is dealing with an issue that can’t wait for a scheduled appointment, give us a call at (415) 453-7372 and we’ll do our best to get them seen as quickly as possible.
When to Call Us
Urgent care is for situations that need timely attention but don’t require an emergency room. Examples include sudden vomiting or diarrhea, limping or lameness, minor wounds or lacerations, eye irritation or swelling, allergic reactions, or any sudden behavior change that has you concerned.
Not sure whether your pet’s situation is urgent or an emergency? Call us. We’ll help you assess what’s going on and point you in the right direction — whether that’s a same-day visit with our team or the nearest emergency facility.
