Our Story

At VCA Meadow Hills Animal Hospital we’ve helped pets live long, healthy and happy lives since 1995. In our two clinics we provide full service care for your pets, as well as the best experience for you, the owner.

Hometown Care at VCA Meadow Hills Animal Hospital

Doctor Susan Thorson opened VCA Meadow Hills in 1995, with the vision of providing compassionate, high quality veterinary care. Over the ensuing years their dream has grown in breadth and scope of ways to help pets become more comfortable, healthier and more active in their relationships with their families. They have worked hard to make VCA Meadow Hills a good place to work for their team members and to give back to the community. They remain true to their purpose:

  • to create an exceptional experience for pet owners
  • to work as a team, with shared dedication and passion
  • to enhance the health of each pet, resulting in a stronger relationship between the human ~ animal ~ veterinarian

VCA Meadow Hills opened its first clinic at 8802 West Gage, and its second vet clinic, VCA Meadow Hills South at 3711 Plaza Way, both in Kennewick, WA. We serve pets and their owners in Kennewick, Richland, and Pasco, WA.
