Emergency Surgery
Our emergency surgery services address critical injuries and illnesses requiring immediate intervention. Staffed by experienced veterinarians, we handle trauma cases, internal bleeding, and life-threatening conditions. Advanced equipment ensures precise procedures, while post-operative care focuses on recovery and pain management.
Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen therapy supports pets with breathing difficulties from trauma, infections, or chronic conditions. We use specialized chambers and nasal oxygen delivery systems for stable, controlled treatment. Continuous monitoring ensures optimal oxygen levels during critical recovery phases.
In-House Diagnostics
Rapid diagnostic testing enables immediate treatment decisions for emergency cases. Our facility offers blood work, urinalysis, and specialized panels to assess organ function and detect toxins. Quick turnaround times help stabilize patients efficiently during critical moments.
Digital Radiographs
Digital radiography provides instant imaging for diagnosing fractures, foreign objects, and internal injuries. High-resolution images guide treatment planning while minimizing patient discomfort. This technology supports faster interventions for time-sensitive conditions.

Brought my elder dog in due to his eye bulging out of socket. I was so scared and worried, especially because you have to wait in the car. They were reassuring. The Dr told me what's going on and what needs to be done and answered my questions. They gave me a price, went home and they called when ready. They were honest and said there was a little refund coming back to me. After a few days I was having difficulty cleaning it and putting the drops. I called and they were so helpful, they said to come down and they would show me ways to help and clean it for me. I can't that Ms Katherine enough for helping me. Thank you all for caring.

Our cat was seen yesterday. She was brought in critical condition. The staff and Dr were amazing. They took her in right away and were very honest and straight forward, about care cost and chances of our fur babies survival.

Hands down one of the best Pet Clinic's! The Vets here are AMAZING! My cat baby had an inflamed bladder and the vet was very thorough with what she examined, saw, found, and about treatment plans. All the staff was great, really friendly and caring! Some pet hospitals are about the dollar or don't care but this isn't one of them! This is a group of doctors and individuals that love their jobs and animals; and you can tell! They took care of my cat baby as if it was their own. My baby is currently home and doing very well!

They were attentive and updated us regularly. My beef is They want $1200 deposit just to look at your pet. We ended up going to grand terrace because they wanted $5000 to fix our baby when grand terrace did it for 1500. Don't get me wrong these people are good and very capable just extremely over priced. Taking advantage of people's heartache

They were very honest and caring. I thought my cat was dying, turns out he has asthma. The cost for middle of the night emergency office visit and medication was very reasonable. They could have taken me and charged me so much for unnecessary testing, but they were very honest. I will trust and recommend this place to everyone I know with fur babies.

My little Chihuahua was attacked by a big German shepherd And this being the only place opened on Sunday in south-west riverside county I had to bring him in ( a 45 minute drive ) he ended up passing away on the ride there So I called to let them know and to ask about cremation. They told me they did So I came down called once I pulled up and about 10 minuets later they got him from me had me sign a paper and showed me the urn choices They made a horrible time manageable and made me feel very happy that my big boi will be home with me soon. Thank you very much. Emergency pet clinic
