Calm, careful medicine
PawCare is a 20-year-old AAHA-accredited animal hospital staffed by 5 veterinarians, 3 RVTs, and a dedicated Fear-Free certified handling team. We see dogs, cats, birds, and exotics — and we’re on call for emergencies 24/7.
Everything your pet needs, under one roof.
From routine wellness to advanced surgical care, our team handles dogs, cats, birds, and exotics in the same building. No referrals required for in-clinic specialties.

Emergency & Urgent Care
24/7 on-call line, walk-in urgent slots, and advanced diagnostic imaging available in-house.
Exotic & Avian Medicine
Two of our vets are exotic-certified for birds, reptiles, rabbits, ferrets, and small mammals.
We practice Fear-Free veterinary medicine — and it changes everything.
Most pets associate the vet with stress: bright lights, slippery floors, restrained handling. Fear-Free is a clinical certification that reverses that. Pheromone diffusers, non-slip exam mats, low-light cat rooms, soft-handling restraint, and pre-visit pharmaceutical anxiolytics for pets who need them.
The science is clear: a calm patient gives more accurate vitals, tolerates more thorough exams, and recovers faster. It’s better medicine, and it’s why families drive across town to see us.

If it's after hours, we're still on call.
A licensed veterinarian answers the emergency line 24/7. We’ll guide you over the phone, meet you at the clinic, or refer you to the closest specialty hospital — whichever is right for your pet.
Common emergencies: choking, severe vomiting, allergic reaction, hit-by-car, seizure, ingested toxin, labored breathing.
What pet families say.
“Took our anxious rescue dog in for her first exam. Dr. Patel sat on the floor with her for 10 minutes before the exam even started. We’ve never had a calmer vet visit.”
“Our cockatiel needed emergency care at midnight on a Sunday. Dr. Okafor met us at the clinic in 25 minutes and saved his life. We don’t take that for granted.”
“Honest pricing, no upsells, clear communication every step. They sent a follow-up call two days after our cat’s dental — that level of care is rare.”
