Doobie came to our emergency department for some GI issues. While he was here, he got to enjoy some fresh air in our new dog walking area. It’s always a pleasure to see our furry friends relaxing and getting some extra sunshine.

BB's style is truly enviable! She visited our emergency department because of some irritation in her paw, but her family did a great job removing a foxtail. We sent BB home with a stylish cone, which we’re sure she’s made quite fashionable, along with a course of antibiotics just to be safe.

🐾 Meet Poppy, a delightful 9-month-old Mini Poodle who had a little adventure by nibbling on some grapes. We acted quickly to induce emesis and provide her with fluids, and we also ran some bloodwork to keep a close eye on her health. Poppy will have follow-up lab work in the next couple of days to ensure everything looks great!

Pets are family.

Pet Emergency & Specialty Center of Marin (PESCM) was founded in 1998. Our central Marin location in San Rafael, just off the 580 and 101 freeways, allows rapid access from almost any location in Marin, the East Bay, or North San Francisco. We are available 24/7 and no appointment is necessary for emergency care, though we do ask that you call in advance if possible. In addition to providing emergency care, we offer a team of collaborative specialists in surgery, internal medicine, oncology, and ophthalmology during the week by appointment. We work closely with veterinarians in general practice with the shared goal of providing your pet with the best possible care.
