A legacy of veterinary excellence
Built on expertise, guided by compassion, and dedicated to advancing pet care.
Our founding vision
Founded in 1998, Pet Emergency & Specialty Center of Marin emerged as the successor to the region's previous emergency service in Terra Linda.
Our hospital was specifically designed from the ground up to deliver exceptional emergency and specialty veterinary medicine, featuring specialized operating suites, a dedicated ICU, and a comprehensive in-house laboratory that enables rapid diagnostics and treatment planning.
Expertise meets compassion
Today, our facility stands among the most technologically advanced veterinary hospitals nationwide, equipped with MRI, CT scanning, digital radiography, ultrasound, and video scoping capabilities.
Our exceptional team works collaboratively with primary care veterinarians to provide seamless care. This combination of cutting-edge technology and specialized expertise ensures we deliver the highest standard of compassionate treatment for every patient.
Our partners
We are a proud member of the Veritas Veterinary Partners family — a national network of specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals across the United States.
Together with our partner hospitals, we are helping bring high-quality, progressive veterinary care across a broad range of fields closer to the pets who need it.
Our leadership team
Our leadership team is made up of long-term employees promoted from within, bringing over 50 years of combined PESCM experience. Having worked as doctors, technicians, and client care staff, we understand the needs of our clients, patients, and team — and prioritize them in every decision we make.
