What began 30 years ago as a veterinary surgical referral clinic has grown into one of the largest and most trusted specialty hospitals in the country. As an academic veterinary hospital, we are committed not only to advancing the health of companion animals through cutting-edge treatments, but also to fostering education and collaboration with the veterinary community. Our mission is simple: to provide the best quality of care and service to the patient, the client, and the primary veterinarian.
At VCA ASEC, we understand how important your pet is to you, and we're here to provide compassionate, expert care when you need it most. Located in West Los Angeles, we are a 24-hour emergency and specialty veterinary hospital staffed by board-certified specialists in areas like critical care, cardiology, internal medicine, oncology, radiology, and surgery. With a dedicated team of highly-trained veterinarians, we ensure your pet receives the highest standard of medical attention.

“Thanks to everyone at VCA ASEC for helping our Jake! He is doing so well! We took him on his first hike on Saturday and he was the happiest dog in the world! We were afraid that he would never walk again, but he has recovered beyond our wildest dreams. Thank you!” ~Jennifer H.
“Nan and I cannot thank you all enough for the care and consideration you gave our dear Zooey. Because of your great expertise and thoughtfulness, and a touch of good fortune and timing, our baby girl has completely returned to the crazy, goofy, willfull and amazing being she was before the bottom dropped out on our lives. I know her sister, Mazzy, is grateful as well.
Nan and I–and Zooey and Mazzy–want to extend our warmest love and regards to all of you. Thanks again.” ~Paul
