Why We Exist

Our mission is to provide unparalleled specialty and emergency veterinary care while educating and empowering the next generation of veterinary professionals. With compassion and a commitment to excellence, we support the special bond between pets and their people in the Southern New England community.

Ocean State Veterinary Specialists was founded by a husband and wife team who had a vision to create a top-flight referral and emergency clinic capable of providing university-level care right here in Rhode Island. Our staff of 300+ employees is made up of exceptional doctors, nurses and support staff who are not only great at their job but who are also genuine animal lovers. Although we are a for-profit business, our guiding principle has and will always be, we do what is best for your pet. To honor this mission, we have created a fee structure substantially less expensive than similar referral and emergency hospitals in the Northeast so that as many pets as possible can take advantage of the expertise, technology and 24-hour care that we provide.
