Covid-19 Updates

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought on a surge of people adopting and fostering pets resulting in an unprecedented surge in the need for veterinary care. As the LAASER team continues to meet the needs of all pets and pet owners, wait times are extending longer than before COVID-19 times. LAASER is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency services, and is offering curbside care as we navigate through this crisis together.

Safety Procedures

We ask that all guests wear a mask and maintain social distancing when outside our facilities and interacting with our employees.
If you are experiencing any symptoms or have been exposed to the COVID-19 virus, please refrain from visiting our hospitals.
For safety reasons, our lobbies are closed to visitors. A staff member will meet you and your pet curbside when you arrive.

Emergency room visit

Our emergency room functions like a triage center. Pets are seen in order of severity of injury or illness. Pets with less severe conditions may wait longer than those in critical conditions.
Please check in to the ER queue and claim your place in line by clicking here. Our queuing system will direct you through the next steps, forms you need to sign, and provide real-time updates of your place in line.
If your pet is experiencing life-threatening injury, or you are unsure if your pet’s condition is serious, please call us at (323)-800-VETS (8387)
Once you have been checked in and been notified your pet is ready to be seen, a team member will meet you and your pet outside in your car.
An emergency room technician will come to gather information and assess your pet’s condition. Your pet will then be brought into our hospital for evaluation and treatment by an emergency room doctor. We ask that you remove any collars, harnesses, and leashes before handing your pet over. The tech will use a LAASER leash to walk the patient in. A carrier is required for cats.
Please wait in your car for a staff member to call and discuss your pet’s diagnosis and treatment options.
If your pet requires additional tests (bloodwork, x-rays, CT, MRI, etc.), or needs to be hospitalized, you will receive a treatment plan via email for you to review and authorize. A doctor’s assistant will then call you to review the plan and ask for your authorization before proceeding.
If your pet is hospitalized, you may leave once we receive your initial deposit along with your authorization via email.
If your pet is clear to leave after receiving treatment, a representative from the Client Care team will assist you with check-out.

NOTE: The time between each step may vary and is often unpredictable. We know waiting can be frustrating and appreciate your patience during this time. Our staff will do their best to respect your time while providing the best possible care for your pet.
