Welcome to Pets First Veterinary Center
Dr. Dan Meadows, Dr. Maria Gonzales, Dr. Jayme Paterson and our entire health care team are committed to providing your pets with the best health care possible. Our facility is a full-service animal hospital whose mission is to provide the highest standard of care possible for our patients. Pets First Veterinary Center is accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). To maintain this accreditation our hospital staff must adhere to over 800 standards in the quality of care; diagnostic & pharmacy; management; medical records; and facility. To insure that these standards of care are met, we voluntarily submit to periodic inspections by the AAHA. Our hospital provides standard medical, surgical, and dental veterinary care. Because we have an in-house pharmacy, lab, radiology facilities, and Intensive Care Unit, our facility enables you to make one stop for your pet's medical care.
