San Luis Obispo Veterinary Hospital

Top Rated Veterinarian in San Luis Obispo, CA

After years of working in the emergency room, our founder realized that many pets didn’t need full emergency care - they needed convenient, timely veterinary attention. PetMed was created to bridge that gap, giving pets access to prompt care when their families need answers quickly.

As San Luis Obispo’s first and only dedicated veterinary urgent care, we offer same-day and next-day appointments for pets who need to be seen soon. Online booking is available, making it easier to get your furry family member the care they need, right when they need it.
