Please call AV Veterinary Center at (661) 729-1500 before you travel when your pet needs urgent or emergency care, a referral or transfer, or another time-sensitive visit. Calling ahead helps our team coordinate acceptance, prepare for your pet’s arrival, and explain the safest next step.
Bring your pet’s medical records, medication list, vaccine history, and any recent laboratory or imaging results when available. If you are a new client, complete the online patient registration form before your visit when possible.
For routine or scheduled visits, use the online appointment request or call (661) 729-1500. Online messages and appointment forms are not an emergency response channel. Reception, technician, and veterinarian hours differ — early drop-off does not mean a veterinarian is available for an examination. If your pet’s symptoms become urgent before your appointment, call instead of waiting for an online response.
Whether you need a routine checkup or have questions about your pet's care, our Lancaster and Palmdale team is here to help.
Submitting a request does not confirm a booking. Our team will contact you to confirm your appointment.
