A Homegrown Team, Together for Decades
A Homegrown Team, Together for Decades
In an industry known for burnout and turnover, Four Paws is different. Our team has built careers and lifelong friendships here, and even after decades together, we still show up each day with energy, laughter, and love for what we do.
Because we’re independently owned, we keep medicine personal. We take our time with appointments, sit on the floor with nervous pets, and invite you behind the scenes so you can see what we see. What ties it all together is simple: we love the animals, and we love the people who love them.
Expert Medicine, Guided by Common Sense
At Four Paws, good medicine is equal parts experience, practicality, and science. We don’t believe in running every test just because we can. We start with what makes sense, confirm what we see, and guide you through clear options.
Our doctors and staff learn from each other every day, sharing knowledge and collaborating on every case. Because our team is cross-trained, you’ll feel seamless support at every step—from the front desk to the exam room and everywhere in between.

For generations, families here have turned to us for the core services pets need most.
