從2005年成立開始, 非牟利獸醫服務協會(NPV)致力籌辦全香港第一個非牟利獸醫診所組織, 希望為所有動物主人提供可負擔的動物醫療服務。從當年11月開辦的第一所獸醫診所開始, 該會至今已在深水埗及北角開設8所獸醫診所, 並有一輛流動醫療車服務新界區的居民。以下是關於非牟利獸醫服務協會旗下診所的簡介:
Since its establishment in 2005, The Non-Profit Making Veterinary Service Society Limited (NPV) aims to establish the first non-profit making veterinarian clinic Hong Kong, providing affordable pets’ medical costs for their owners. Since its first veterinarian clinic was opened in Sham Shui Po at November 2006, the NPV has currently operated 8 veterinarian clinics in Sham Shui Po and North Point, and a mobile veterinarian clinic for serving the pet owners living in the New Territories. Here comes the brief introduction of these clinics:

But when this venue is reduced to 77 Ki Lung Street, it becomes the traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture centre and education centre of the Hong Kong Non-Profit Making Veterinary Clinics. (Photoed at January 2023)

自從在2006年開設第一所獸醫診所以來, 非牟利獸醫服務協會(NPV)旗下的獸醫診所開始一直集中在深水埗基隆街一帶; 到了2016年, 該會在北角和富道開設第7所獸醫診所, 為港島區的居民提供全科獸醫治療服務。
Since its first veterinarian clinic opened in 2006, the NPV’s veterinarian clinics are mostly concentrated in Ki Lung Street, Sham Shui Po. In 2016, it opened its 7th veterinarian clinic in 116 Wharf Road, North Point; It provided affordable pets’ medical costs for their owners in the Hong Kong Island.

到了2017年, NPV獲得香港醫藥援助會捐贈一輛大型流動醫療車, 並在善長贊助下進行裝修, 並在當年11月正式投入服務, 其主要服務對象是新界區的寵物主人; 除了在逢周五及周六在粉嶺應診外, 也會按需要前往新界的其他地區, 例如小型被遺棄動物收容中心「手牽爪動物救援」在2019年10月反修例暴動期間受不明氣體侵害後, NPV的流動醫療車在收容中心外駐守多日, 隨時為中心內的貓狗提供即時的醫療支援。
In 2017, the NPV has received a big clinicar from Project Concern Hong Kong with necessary decoration sponsored by donors, and its mobile veterinarian clinic was then put into service since November 2017, which serves the pet owners living in the New Territories. Despite providing regular veterinary services in Fanling at every Friday and Saturday, they will be on duty at other parts of the New Territories if requested. For example, it has been stationed near the “Hand in Paw" Animal Rescue in Tuen Mun after the latter suffered by the leak-out of suspected poisonous gases in October 2019, providing immediate medical checks and treatments for the cats and dogs living in the shelter home.

到了2019年9月, 非牟利獸醫服務協會在深水埗柏樹街11號開設NPV動物影像診斷中心, 設有MRI磁力共振、CT電腦斷層掃描及微創內視鏡手術系統, 為病情嚴重的動物作全面及準確的診斷。
The Non-Profit Making Veterinary Service Society Limited (NPV) opened its first veterinary imaging centre in Cedar Street, Sham Shui Po at September 2019. The centre has equipped with several advanced medical facilities like MRI and CT scanning systems, minimally invasive surgery systems and etc, providing comprehensive and accurate medical treatment for the animals suffering from serious diseases.

除了提供獸醫診治服務外, 非牟利獸醫服務協會的診所曾經舉報涉及虐待動物的個案: 一名狗主被朋友誤導, 為求美觀把自已飼養貴婦狗的尾巴紮斷, 結果貴婦狗的尾巴出現壞死及流膿的狀況, 遂帶牠到非牟利獸醫服務協會的深水埗診所求診; 當值獸醫看到狗隻尾巴的傷勢, 覺得事件涉及虐待動物, 在與機構的其他獸醫等商討後決定報警; 結果肇事狗主被判監4星期, 他的貴婦狗被充公並交由愛護動物協會安排領養。 從這宗案例看來, 非牟利獸醫服務協會並非純粹的獸醫服務提供者, 在遇上涉及虐待動物的個案時也會挺身而出的。
Despite providing veterinary services, the NPV’s veterinary clinics have reported the suspected animal abuse cases to the police: a dog owner is misled by his friend and docked his poodle’s tail by a string, which make the poodle’s tail suffered from necrosis and suppuration. The owner then brought his dog to the NPV clinic for medical treatment. The veterinarian thought the poodle’s situation is a suspected animal abuse case and called the police after discussing with his colleagues. The dog owner is finally arrested and imprisoned for 4 weeks, while the injured poodle was confiscated and arranged for adoption by the SPCA Hong Kong. It is therefore proved that the NPV is not just an ordinary veterinarian group, in which they will speak out for any animal abuse cases through their daily operation.
