VECCS was developed for the purpose of promoting the advancement of knowledge and to elevate standards of practice in veterinary emergency medicine and critical care between practioners and technologists in this field of medicine. To this end, VECCS offers their members seminars, publications, and other means of communication to encourage and facilitate the exchange of ideas, new technology and practices. It is important to note that this society does not serve as a referral agency for the general public but serves directly the practioners in the veterinary field of medicine.

VECCS maintains a very clear and specific meaning as to what constitutes an "emergency" or "critical care" clinic or hospital, that is, a facility specifically designed and established to solely provide emergency and critical animal care.

With their very kind permission, you will find listed on these pages VECCS' member clinics and hospitals. Read more about VECCS here, or click on their logo in the upper left corner to visit their website.
