Locally owned. Community trusted. Ready when your pet needs us.

Veterinary Urgent Care of the Desert is a proudly locally and privately owned, AAHA accredited veterinary urgent care and surgical hospital in Palm Desert, CA. We’re honored to serve our Coachella Valley community with high-quality, compassionate care—without the long wait times or high costs of traditional ER for pets.

Open late evenings and weekends, we’re here when your pet needs immediate or emergency help. Our modern facility is equipped to handle every step of urgent care—from triage and diagnostics to treatment and surgery—so your pet gets prompt, comprehensive care when it matters most.

We also work closely with your primary veterinarian to ensure seamless continuity of care, providing relief and support until your pet can return to their regular provider.
