North Peninsula Veterinary Emergency Clinic was established in 1973 by thirty-three peninsula veterinarians who decided that 24 hour patient care should be available for their patients. After nearly 40 years in business, we are still owned by veterinarians throughout the peninsula. We consider ourselves a family and hope that if the time ever comes when you need our services, you too will join our extended family! Please feel free to post about your experiences with us and we would love it if you included a picture of your furry family members too!
