Hometown Care at VCA Pacific Avenue Animal Hospital

Here in Tacoma, VCA Pacific Avenue Animal Hospital's ten doctors and 40 staff members, each of whom have endeared pets of their own, are the type of warm, caring people you can trust giving medical attention to your beloved pets. Each member of the hospital's extensive team of professionals keeps up to date on all the latest advancements in veterinary care through continuing education classes and by consulting with their VCA peers across the country.

Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, VCA provides a full range of general medical and surgical services as well as specialized treatments for dogs and cats.

VCA is active in its community, too. Last year the hospital donated $250,000 in services, products and sponsorships such as the Humane Society's annual Dog-a-thon, which VCA staff attends every year to provide services like microchipping and registration for adopted dogs. Through city and county partnerships, Good Samaritans can bring strays into VCA and the hospital will take it from there.
