A Dedicated Emergency Hospital
Valley Veterinary Emergency is a stand-alone emergency veterinary hospital designed specifically to treat urgent and critical medical situations.
While we share the same commitment to compassionate, high-quality care as McGrath Veterinary, this hospital focuses exclusively on emergency and urgent cases so pets can receive rapid attention when their regular veterinarian is closed or when immediate care is needed.
Emergency Services
Valley Veterinary Emergency provides a wide range of urgent medical services, including:
- Emergency examinations
Rapid assessment and stabilization of pets experiencing sudden illness or injury.
- Diagnostic testing
In-house laboratory testing and imaging to help identify medical problems quickly.
- Emergency surgery
Life-saving procedures when immediate surgical care is needed.
- Hospitalization and monitoring
Supportive care and close monitoring for pets requiring ongoing treatment.
Our team is equipped to handle many of the most common and serious veterinary emergencies.

Working With Your Family Veterinarian
Valley Veterinary Emergency works closely with local veterinary hospitals, including but not limited to McGrath Veterinary, to ensure pets receive coordinated care. After your pet’s emergency visit, we’ll share medical records with your primary veterinarian so they can continue follow-up care once your pet is stable.
Now Open
We are excited to bring a new level of emergency veterinary care to Sherman Oaks and the San Fernando Valley.
