My dog had an injury that I didn't notice until after his vet closed. These guys saw us right away. While the $95 visit fee is steep, they don't try to offer unnecessary procedures once you are there. You are paying for the immediate availability of a vet. My dog's dew claw was hanging off. The doctor was able to pull it out without any surgery. He recommended waiting to see if my dog needed antibiotics before having me buy any. Our old vet was the opposite, constantly getting us to pay for expensive medicines and procedures left and right. The people at Nor Cal even followed up a couple of days later to make sure my dog was doing well. I will definitely go back when we need an emergency vet.

Can't say enough about everyone at Nor Cal Emergency Vet. We went in with our very ill dog and he was evaluated quickly, fast diagnosis made, and a plan for moving forward very clearly outlined. We had Dr. Lin and then Dr. West the next day and both communicate very clearly with us about our pet. Terrific staff overall who are very warm and thoughtful of both the humans and the pets. Your pet is in terrific hands here and so are you, questions are answered clearly and options openly discussed.

I had an amazing experience with Nor Cal. My English bulldog saw both Dr. Ybarra and Dr. West and both were so intelligent, helpful and calming and I knew my dog was in the best possible care. They also thoroughly explained all options for testing and the possible diagnoses so I felt totally comfortable and "in the know" at all times. Highly recommend Nor Cal!

I had to bring a dog here that I was looking after for a split nail. The people here were very attentive, kind and professional. The wait time was about as expected since there were two more serious issues ahead of me, and the treatment time was fairly quick as well. The cost is very reasonable here, especially for needing immediate treatment on a Sunday afternoon. If I ever need such services again, I will certainly come to this location.

Nor Cal Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital treated our cat "M" for a serious abscess that came to light suddenly one evening after work. The hospital's location was very convenient for us right off Route 280 on Junipero Serra Blvd. in Daly City. The hospital's professionals were able to examine our cat very quickly after we got signed in and provided excellent treatment. They kept M overnight for treatment and observation before sending her home the following morning where she made a rapid recovery. They didn't just treat the immediate problem, but made a thorough examination and offered recommendations for followup care with M's primary care veterinarian. I think we are fortunate to have this facility that focuses on all-hours emergency animal care in northern San Mateo and San Francisco Counties. It is staffed by skilled professionals who are clearly passionate about providing great care for sick and injured family pets. I considered the hospital's fees fair for the high quality of care provided.
