Welcome

Located on the beautiful Pacific North Coast in the heart of the redwoods, North Coast Veterinary Hospital (NCVH) has facilities in Arcata and Fortuna, California. Our experienced veterinarians rotate between the two locations, supported by a knowledgeable and caring support staff. We are part of the the largest privately-owned equine medical group (Loomis Basin Equine Medical Group) in California.

We hope you’ll take a moment to learn more about our doctors, programs, and services. Including mobile and emergency coverage of Humboldt, Del Norte, and Trinity Counties.
