Additional Services for Dogs and Cats in San Francisco

A general practice covers most of what a dog or cat needs day to day, but some cases benefit from a referral or an in-clinic supply that is easier to access through your veterinarian. Urban Pet Hospital offers a handful of additional services for dogs and cats in San Francisco that round out the rest of our care. The clinic is open seven days a week from 8am to 8pm.

What are additional veterinary services?

Additional veterinary services include the support work that complements core care: referrals to board-certified specialists in oncology, neurology, ophthalmology, or behavior, in-clinic supply of veterinarian-recommended items such as parasite prevention and joint support, and records coordination when a pet moves between clinics.

Veterinary Specialist Referrals in San Francisco

For cases that benefit from advanced expertise outside of what a general practice provides, the veterinarian coordinates referrals to board-certified veterinary specialists. Common referrals include oncology, neurology, internal medicine, ophthalmology, and behavior.

In-Clinic Supply for Veterinarian-Recommended Items in San Francisco

The clinic stocks a curated selection of products the veterinary team recommends day to day: parasite prevention, joint support, ear cleaners, eye solutions, dental chews, and similar items. Picking these up from the clinic means you know the product is appropriate for your pet's age and weight, and that the dose is right.

Care Coordination and Records Support in San Francisco

If your dog or cat sees a specialist, has been to an urgent care hospital, or is moving to a new clinic, the team handles records transfer on your behalf. We can also pull together a complete medical summary for travel, insurance, or board-certified consultations.

FAQs

When does my pet actually need a specialist?
Most cases are handled in general practice. Referrals are recommended when a case benefits from advanced training, equipment, or sub-specialty expertise. The veterinarian explains the recommendation and coordinates the referral.
Can I pick up flea and tick prevention without an appointment?
Yes, once your pet has an established record with us and a current exam, products are available for pickup during clinic hours. New clients need a brief exam visit first.
Will my records follow me if I move out of San Francisco?
Yes. We send your pet’s complete medical records to your new clinic on request, usually within one business day.

From specialist referrals to in-clinic supply, the team at Urban Pet Hospital fills in the rest of your dog or cat's care. Call (415) 400-5754 to discuss what your pet needs in San Francisco.
