The Care We Give Is More Than Medical

At Startown Veterinary Hospital, we have a very different approach.  We are dedicated to setting the standard of excellence in veterinary health care and client services, while focusing on the care of each pet. We develop individualized treatment plans based on each pet and pet owner's needs. Our highly trained nursing and office staff are gentle, patient, and kind.

We believe that no one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.

We are committed to providing you and your pet with a very personal veterinary health care experience. This elevated level of care and attention allows you and your pet to develop a relationship with us built on trust, comfort, and confidence. Your experience in our hospital will be a very personal one.
