Overview

For over 35 years, we’ve cared for the pets and families of Greater Philadelphia, DelCo, and South Jersey. Our hospital was built on a simple idea: provide thoughtful medicine, communicate clearly, and treat every pet like family

Founded in 1991 by Dr. Lawrence Rebbecchi Jr., the hospital was built on a simple philosophy: provide thoughtful medicine, honest communication, and dependable care families can rely on for years to come. What began as a small neighborhood clinic has grown into a trusted community practice grounded in consistency, integrity, and long-standing relationships. Beginning humbly on Grays Avenue, he diligently cultivated a loyal client base, quickly recognizing the necessity for a more spacious and welcoming environment. Through strategic relocations and expansions, culminating in the current esteemed location at 7401 Holstein Ave since 2015

Mission — provide thoughtful medicine, honest communication, and dependable care families can rely on for years to come
