The mission of our hospital is to provide the highest quality emergency and specialty medicine for small animals.  We are committed to serving the veterinarians and pet owners of the tri-state region as a referral center for competent, compassionate and timely care.

Our hospital features 24-hour urgent care emergency service and a team of board certified and residency-trained specialists.  A team of technical support staff is available at all times.  We are proud to have achieved full accreditation with the American Animal Hospital Association. 

Our Goal is to have an interactive relationship with our referring veterinarians, our clients and their pets.  We are here around the clock to service your specialty and critical care needs. 

Emergency Care:  Our phones lines are open 24 hours a day to handle any question or concern you have for your pet. You can reach us at (260) 426-1062.

Referral Appointments:  Consultations with our specialists are made on a referral basis. Appointments are held Monday thru Friday by appointment. To set up an appointment with one of our Board Certified Specialists in Surgery, Internal Medicine, Dermatology, or Cardiology, please have your primary care veterinarian call our office to set up a referral.   

Through our website site, our goal is to provide you with information about our veterinary hospital, our services and our medical staff. Additionally, we have provided a link to an extensive Pet Medical Library for you to search for additional health care information.
