The Family Pet Veterinary Hospital

Known for

• fear-free care

  “A lot of our exams happen on the floor or on a lap rather than a table, treats are involved wherever they help, and if an animal has had enough, we'd rather split a visit in two than hold them still to get it finished.”

• same-day sick slots

  “we hold same-day slots for sick pets”

• senior care

  “We look after dogs and cats from first vaccinations through senior care and, when the time comes, the end of a long life.”

• in-house diagnostics

  “Bloodwork, digital X-ray, and ultrasound in the building, with most results back during the same visit so treatment can start today.”
