As a specialty clinic, Dermatology for Animals is not  staffed to handle  emergency calls.  If you believe your pet requires emergency attention, we recommend you immediately contact the clinic that provides your general veterinary care.  If it is after normal clinic hours, we recommend you contact and proceed to the closest emergency animal clinic.  A list of those in the south bay area is provided on the right side of the page. If the emergency occurs during our business hours, please telephone us so we can provide any needed information to your veterinarian.

We are concerned about any situation that you perceive as unusual or an emergency.  We may not be the veterinarians that provide the care in such a situation, but please let us know as soon as possible so we can best coordinate care with the veterinarian you are seeing.
