Member Benefits

Members of our association are eligible for a full array of benefits and services. Your membership is an investment that can translate into significant cost savings to you at work and at home and help us achieve our mission as your association!

I’ve found that one of the most effective ways of conveying to our senators and representatives the many hats that veterinarians wear is to make regular legislative visits. After sitting with my legislator, I knew that my presence had been worthwhile. In one visit, we brought many important issues to the forefront.


Casey Lynch Kurtz

There is no other advocate in the Pennsylvania legislature for our views as veterinary professionals than PVMA. If you have no seat at the table, you have no voice in the discussion. That’s why it’s important for each veterinarian to know the issues and do their part to build a relationship with their Representatives and Senator.
