About Four Paws Animal Hospital
Four Paws Animal Clinic opened its doors on January 7th, 2002. Initially starting with a staff of 2 people in a 1,500 square-foot shopping center space, it quickly became clear that the practice would outgrow that facility. As more technology was brought in-house, “animal clinic” conveyed the wrong impression about a hospital that offered complete surgical and medical services that included a complete lab, x-ray, endoscopy, ultrasound, and dentistry. In 2004, an already full-service Four Paws Animal Clinic became Four Paws Animal Hospital.
