The Peninsula Veterinary Associates (PVA) is a network of local veterinarians who have united to bring specialty and emergency services to the Peninsula. Since partnering in 1975, the PVA established the Emergency Veterinary Clinic in 1978 and the Peninsula Veterinary Specialists in 2003. This network ensures that an entire care team is in place to provide continuous care to each and every pet requiring basic, specialty, or emergency care. The PVA is also very active in the community, providing free medical care to injured strays, wildlife, and the exotic and companion animals sheltered by the Peninsula SPCA.
