Overview

Our full-service complex offers veterinary services, daycare, boarding, and grooming for your four-legged family members. Our three veterinarians, experienced staff, and skilled grooming team provide a one-stop facility for your furry friends. Located just outside of El Paso in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, SWACC is the ultimate place for dogs and cats

Dr. McKee started his veterinary practice in 1975. Southwest Animal Care Complex was established in 1989 after he visited a Colorado classmate running a veterinary clinic and doggie daycare facility. At the time, nothing like that existed to serve the people and pets in El Paso. Dr. McKee set out to create the ultimate place for dogs and cats. Boasting a heated doggie pool, specially-built dog runs, and expansive outdoor play areas, the new Southwest Animal Care Complex was and is a premier choice for pet owners
