At Compassion Animal Hospital, caring for pets is our passion
Here, we treat pets like family. We understand how important your companion is to you — because they’re there for you through the thick and thin of life, with a wagging tail or a happy purr, and unconditional love. Our goal is to be your partner in taking care of your pet’s physical and mental wellbeing, so you can enjoy many happy years together. So, whether your pet needs a checkup with a doctor… a caring team and top-notch medical treatments when they’re ill… or, some advice on the best food for them or how to care for them at home — we’re here for you! Here, we see dogs, cats, and horses. And, we’ll strive to make their visit a comfortable and positive experience. Come in and get to know us, and see why both you and your pet will love coming here!

Happy Pet Parents
We brought or baby, Bear to Compassion today. He had multiple issues. The nurses were friendly and very knowledgeable. They made us feel we belonged there. The vet was amazing and honest. He will go back there. So will our other babies.
They are very kind to your animals and explain what is wrong and tell you what they’re going to do in advance, and they work with you with medications, your animal needs, and your budget.
Without doubt the best vet I have ever visited. The care, respect and compassion is unrivaled. I have complete confidence in their whole staff and trust them wholeheartedly with my beloved pets. Extremely clean and well organized. A truly wonderful place.
Had to have our first visit as an emergency. Compassion is not just in their name. They truly care and are concerned about the animal. I thank them so very much for helping with Hunter.
Dr. Fletcher is a very skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate vet. The staff is efficient, professional, and kind. I recommend this clinic.
Dr. Hokes is such an amazing vet she has such a big heart and treats each animal like her own. You can definitely see how much they care about animals.
Dr Hoke is by far my favorite! Thank you for helping with Sylvia. Staff is amazing.
