SAME-DAY URGENT CARE
As a pet parent, you don’t want to think about your beloved companion getting sick or experiencing a serious injury. Unfortunately, these situations are common, and no family is immune. Any pet can get sick, and accidents can occur in just seconds — no matter how careful you are. And when these situations arise, it’s important to know where to turn. At Center Veterinary Clinic, we provide same-day urgent care for pets on a case-by-case basis. If your four-legged family member needs pet urgent care in Novato or the surrounding areas, reach out to us right away.

It’s best to err on the side of caution when something as important as your pet’s health is on the line.
