Help! I have a veterinary emergency!

Emergencies are usually not appropriate for house call treatment. If your pet is having difficulty breathing, is unresponsive, bleeding uncontrollably or has suffered serious trauma, please call the nearest stationary hospital. After hours and on weekends please call PETS Hospital in the Orcutt Knolls Shopping Center at (805) 250-5600.
