About Us

The Veterinary Urgent Care clinic in Rancho Peñasquitos is equipped with point-of-care ultrasound, an in-house lab, and digital radiography (x-rays). We are also able to provide your pet with select surgeries, acupuncture, and cold laser therapy. Please call to schedule an appointment for these specific services.

If your pet is suffering from any of these conditions, we encourage you to seek medical care as soon as possible. If you cannot make an appointment at our Rancho Peñasquitos location in San Diego, we urge you to seek medical care elsewhere; alternative options include your family veterinarian or a nearby 24-hour emergency hospital.
