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.

Veterinary professionals caring for animals in a clinical setting with medical equipment around them.

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.
