Care-Pets Animal Hospital and Wellness Center was founded in 1987. It was not long before Care-Pets began to grow, and the need for more space became apparent. In October 2001, Care-Pets Animal Hospital moved down the road to its current location at 8800 Old State Road 60.

This new facility provided much-needed additional space. The spacious lobby and four exam rooms were designed with the comfort of our patients, clients, and staff in mind. The new facility also provided the necessary space to accommodate all of our specialized diagnostic procedures including a surgery suite, radiology, and lab to name a few.
