VCA Animal Hospitals Urgent Care - Mar Vista

Feb 2024

On a Sunday I had to get my dog to an urgent care vet that had a vet working on a Sunday (not easy to find ) They have the option to put you on a wait list, where they text you when to arrive. I think that's brilliant. I still had to wait a bit - but at least I was able to get in. Dr Perez was GREAT. Everyone was so helpful, compassionate and very very professional. I highly recommend this place

My cat leaped onto the kitchen counter and slid into a sharp knife blade, nearly slicing off his whole pinky paw pad. I called Urgent Care and their phone recording gave me the option to make an appointment through a virtual waiting room. I filled out the intake info online as well and then they texted me time estimates periodically, and a text when they were ready for me to come in which was earlier than the original estimated time. It was so nice to wait in the comfort of my own home rather than in a hospital waiting room, and having an idea of when he could be seen gave me such a great sense of ease. When I got there they took him right away I was free to walk around the neighborhood while they sedated him and stitched him up. Less than an hour later they texted me to tell me he was ready to go home. I thought I was going to be spending the better part of my evening in ER but the entire visit took just about an hour. On top of the ease and comfort of waiting at home, the staff were over-the-moon friendly and the vet was just as pleasant and helpful. Tremendously satisfied.

Virtual wait room feature is convenient. Staff is knowledgeable and kind (Daisy in particular was very sweet to my dog). Quality of care, treatment plan, and cost were pretty similar to our usual vet. Overall, a trip to urgent care is never how you want to spend your day but this one tries to make it as pain free as possible.
