At Scotts Creek Animal Hospital, caring for pets is our passion
Here, we treat pets like family. We understand how important your companion is to you — because they’re there for you through the thick and thin of life, with a wagging tail or a happy purr, and unconditional love. Our goal is to be your partner in taking care of your pet’s physical and mental wellbeing, so you can enjoy many happy years together. So, whether your pet needs a checkup with a doctor… a caring team and top-notch medical treatments when they’re ill… or, some advice on the best food for them or how to care for them at home — we’re here for you! Here at Scotts Creek Animal Hospital, we see dogs and cats. And, we’ll strive to make their visit a comfortable and positive experience. Come in and get to know us, and see why both you and your pet will love coming here!

I've taken my pets to Dr. Cartner as long as Scotts Creek Animal Hospital has been open. His staff is wonderful and we are always greeted with a smile. The most important thing is my dogs and that they are well taken care of. I trust Dr. Cartner and his staff.

Love this vet. The staff and vets are amazing. They took such good care of both of my fur babies. I switched to them over a year ago and I wouldn't use any other vet.
