Be Prepared for a Pet Emergency

Pet owners should be prepared for an emergency with their pet, whether it's a suspected illness or an injury. If your pet needs veterinary care, that isn't the time to be doing a search for the closest animal hospital that's open.

If you have pet insurance, you might want to check with different animal hospitals that you might use in an emergency to be sure they accept your insurance or credit card. Emergency pet care will probably not be cheap.

The animal hospitals listed all offer a variety of veterinarian services, such as vaccination clinics, surgery, dentistry, parasite control and regular checkups. Not all have 24 hour emergency numbers if something happens to your pet out of office hours. If you have the opportunity to visit a veterinary hospital or clinic in your area, you can ask if they have a number for emergencies outside of office hours. There's a chance your regular vet will come into the office to see your pet in an emergency. If not, they will probably be able to recommend a vet who will.

Pet Emergency Clinics in Ventura is open outside normal office hours and closed when your regular vet is open.
