Bay Area Emergency Veterinary Clinics
The nationwide shortage of vets has affected Bay Area emergency animal clinics too.
It’s never fun to need an emergency vet clinic, but when you do, you certainly don’t want to waste precious time trying to find one. We hope this list is helpful in getting your pal the care they need as quickly as possible.
Please bear in mind that emergency clinics are in flux in the Bay Area, so be sure to call ahead to alert the clinic and verify that theirs is the best location to help.

Severe bleeding or bleeding that doesn't stop
