In the Pacific Northwest of the United States, World Vets provides rescue and response for stranded, injured and sick marine mammals. Working under an official federal permit, World Vets provides emergency veterinary response, beach response and rescue, disease investigations, triage and short-term in clinic care for stranded marine mammals throughout Washington. World Vets Marine Mammal Urgent Care Center in Gig Harbor provides triage, urgent care, diagnostics, stabilization and short term hospitalization for marine mammals in need of care, especially harbor seal pups. And thanks to our partnership with Puget Sound Veterinary Specialists / Lakefield Veterinary Group our patients also have access to state of the art CT Scans with advanced diagnostic imaging services to evaluate injuries and give us a more complete picture of their health.
