Committed to Quality After-Hours Emergency Pet Care
Founded in 1975 by 41 local veterinarians, Orange County Emergency Pet Clinic is proudly locally owned and operated by veterinarians who live and work in the communities we serve. Unlike many veterinary hospitals today, we are independently owned—not corporate or private equity owned—and have remained committed to supporting local family veterinarians and the pets of Orange County for more than 50 years.

Our original Garden Grove pet hospital building in 1987.
Our emergency pet hospitals in Fullerton and Garden Grove provide trusted after-hours emergency and critical care for dogs and cats when their family veterinarian is not available. From accidents and trauma to poisonings, breathing difficulties, fractures, and other urgent medical emergencies, our experienced emergency team is here to provide compassionate, expert care when your pet needs it most.

Led by a board-certified Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Specialist, our medical team combines advanced training, experience, and compassion to deliver exceptional care for every patient. We are committed to treating every pet as if they were our own while keeping pet owners informed throughout every step of their visit.
