UCPC specializes in high-quality, compassionate, and convenient veterinary care when your regular veterinarian is closed or unavailable for a same-day appointment.
At Urgent Care Pet Clinic in San Diego, we are not your typical animal hospital. We start our day when most vets are closing to ensure your pet has access to quality emergency vet care, pet first aid, and medical urgent care in the event of an emergency or sudden illness. Our expert staff will triage, assess, and treat your pet in their time of need. If necessary, we will discharge them to an overnight hospital and always contact your regular vet to update them in the case.
