Urgent Pet Care in Oceanside, CA

Prompt care when your pet needs it most.

At Temple Heights Animal Hospital, we understand that emergencies don’t always happen during regular hours—or on a schedule at all. That’s why we offer urgent pet care in Oceanside, CA, doing our best to accommodate last-minute cases involving sudden illness, injury, or other time-sensitive concerns.

If your pet is experiencing an urgent issue, please call our hospital as soon as possible. We’ll assess the situation and do everything we can to provide same-day care or direct you to a trusted local emergency facility if necessary.
