VCA Animal Hospitals is a network of veterinary hospitals in the United States and Canada. It is one of the largest providers of pet health care services in North America, offering a wide range of medical and surgical services for pets.

History

VCA Animal Hospitals was founded in 1986 in Los Angeles, California. The company was established by three veterinarians: Neil Tauber, Robert Antin, and Arthur Antin. Initially, VCA focused on acquiring and managing veterinary hospitals, and it quickly expanded its network across the United States.

In 2017, VCA was acquired by Mars, Incorporated, a global leader in pet care, for approximately $9.1 billion. This acquisition allowed VCA to further expand its services and integrate with Mars Petcare's other veterinary and pet care businesses.

Services

VCA Animal Hospitals provide a comprehensive range of veterinary services, including:

  • Preventive care and wellness exams
  • Diagnostic services
  • Surgery
  • Dentistry
  • Emergency and critical care
  • Specialty services such as oncology, cardiology, and neurology

VCA also offers pet boarding, grooming, and training services at many of its locations.

Locations

VCA operates over 1,000 animal hospitals across the United States and Canada. Each hospital is staffed with experienced veterinarians and veterinary technicians who are dedicated to providing high-quality care for pets.

Community Involvement

VCA Animal Hospitals is committed to supporting the communities it serves. The company participates in various charitable activities, including pet adoption events and partnerships with animal shelters and rescue organizations. VCA also offers free initial health exams for newly adopted pets from participating shelters.
