Veterinary Care Rooted in San Francisco Since 1959
Ocean Avenue Veterinary Hospital opened its doors in 1959, and for more than six decades, we have grown alongside the families and pets of this city. What began as a neighborhood practice has developed into a full-service, 24/7 hospital with the equipment and expertise to handle everything from routine checkups to critical emergencies. More than sixty years of service have shaped a practice where every client is treated like a neighbor and every patient receives the same attentive care we would give our own pets.
Open 24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week, Walk-Ins Welcome
Ocean Avenue Veterinary Hospital is available around the clock, every day of the year. Whether your pet needs a scheduled exam, a same-day urgent care visit, or emergency treatment at 2 a.m., our veterinary team is on-site and ready. No appointment is required for urgent or emergency cases. Every patient is triaged on arrival, stabilized first, and our team keeps you informed at each step. San Francisco pet owners can count on consistent, reliable care at any hour.
Advanced In-House Diagnostics Available Around the Clock
Our hospital is equipped with a comprehensive range of on-site diagnostic technology, available 24 hours a day. Digital X-ray, ultrasound, in-house bloodwork, urinalysis, cytology, CT scan, and endoscopy allow our veterinarians to diagnose quickly and accurately. Laser surgery, laser therapy, and an oxygen chamber support precise treatment and respiratory care. Having this technology in-house means results in minutes rather than days, and faster, more informed decisions when your pet needs them most.
Comprehensive Veterinary Services for Dogs and Cats
Ocean Avenue Veterinary Hospital offers a full range of services for dogs and cats under one roof. Our team provides preventive wellness care, vaccinations, pet dental cleanings, orthopedic and soft tissue surgery, internal medicine, cardiology, diagnostics, medical grooming, nutrition counseling, and compassionate end-of-life care. We also offer pet travel services and in-home end-of-life care for families who prefer that option. Whatever your pet needs across every stage of life, our hospital is equipped to help.
