Together, we strive to enhance the lives of pets and their families in our community!

Companion Pet Care (Professionals) has been under the ownership of Dr. Burghardt since 2017, yet our building has a rich history as a veterinary hospital that dates back to the late 1950s. Prior to that, it served as a pet shop, welcoming countless furry companions through the doors over the years. From an early age, Dr. Burghardt harbored a deep passion for animal care and entrepreneurship. He has cultivated an atmosphere that emphasizes compassionate care and exceptional standards, making our facility truly special. Though our building may have a unique appearance for a veterinary practice, you can trust that your beloved pet is in the most capable and caring hands at Companion Pet Care
