Long Beach Animal Urgent Care

Yesterday was the second time I have had to use LB Animal Urgent Care and my second experience was as good as the first. First time with a large dog and second with a cat. My regular vet was booked and as the animals needed immediate care, I was referred to this facility. I have been very pleased with everything here both times. I highly recommend for your urgent care needs. The place is very clean. The front desk staff, technician and veterinarian are all very kind, calm and attentive. The cost for urgent care services both times was reasonable and lower than what I expected. They itemized costs, educated me on the medication options, answered my questions and respected my choices. They did not try to up-sell me on additional services, etc. They will send a report to your main veterinarian regarding the visit & treatment, etc., and suggest you follow-up with your main vet, as well. This is walk-in only (website is incorrect) and both times we were seen right away. There is a small, easy access parking lot behind the building - the office entrance is in parking area. Their hours are Noon-10pm, Monday-Friday - per website.

Dr. Colwill and his team were incredibly kind and patient when we visited their urgent care to make the difficult decision to put our 16-year-old Chihuahua to sleep. Dr. Colwill took the time to clearly explain our options and guided us toward an informed and compassionate choice. He allowed us as much time as we needed with our dog before the procedure and was empathetic throughout the entire process. The clinic even followed up with a thoughtful card in the mail. I highly recommend this clinic.

hand down this place is the best emergency vet in the state of california. i would NEVER give a vet a 5 star review (most places are scams, really rude, or completely un caring) but this place GENUINELY deserves every positive review it gets!!!!!! the staff is friendly but most importantly, dr. colwill is the absolute best. his services are cheaper than other places, and he gives your pet the care it actually needs (if a transfer to another hospital is required, he knows all the other hospitals in the area and will recommend somewhere that will actually take care of your pet). 11/5 stars. i’ve been twice, once with my dog and once with my cat, and both times have nothing but exceptional things to say. thanks for saving my babies ❤️

This was our first time here and we were very impressed by the customer service, organization, and cleanliness of the place. Dr James is very detailed, thorough and took his time to explain to us about our pet’s condition. We were also not pressured in our decision-making. If your pet is in urgent need of service I would recommend this place.

Grateful for finding this animal doctor's urgent care late at night. I appreciate the welcoming, clean, calm environment which helped me stay calm. It was helpful to notice the doctor was calm, friendly, and who made my husband and I feel at ease even more as how he explained the test results and care options. It gave my heart a smile to see my dog return to me with a pink scarf, it showed that special touch and care. I trust taking my dog back here. Thankful for my dog's health recovery!

Beautiful and complete place with one of the most intelligent and fast doctor that I ever met. I have had worked with him in the past, and amazed me how smart and care he is. Also he had saved my cat Sammy’s life in a emergency situation. And he is the one on top of my list of veterinarians to take care of my dog Amanda if she needs help anytime. I am so glad and happy that he has a Pet Hospital - Animal Urgent Care in Long Beach - Califórnia now!

Dr. James is hands-down simply the BEST! I brought my 11-year-old terrier Bisley Anna in an emergency visit, she was having multiple seizures back to back. Dr. James quickly took her back, him and his staff after numerous attempts was able to get her to settle down, stopping her seizures, and allowing her to calm down. Dr. James sat down with me and explained everything in full detail, (about 30 minutes answering ALL my questions) giving me multiple different options and scenarios, it was his wisdom and advice that I took, and that I am grateful to have my little girl around today. 5 stars ✨ ALL the way!!!
