Client Comfort in a State-of-the-Art Facility
We're an animal hospital that doesn't look like one. The public spaces and exam rooms were designed with our clients in mind. From the moment you enter and speak with our receptionist, you know you are in a welcoming, healing environment. Our light-filled waiting area is filled with plush, comfortable furniture, colorful photos of our own pets and up-to-date reading material. Exam rooms are large enough to accommodate a family without crowding. Because we are pet parents too, we know how hard it can be when a pet is hospitalized. That's why we encourage visits at any time of the day or night. We also have a free private comfort room for anyone who wishes to spend extra time or stay overnight with a hospitalized pet.
In the treatment and surgical areas we have the most sophisticated medical equipment ready to help your pet at a moment's notice.
