Clinic center: New feline health center, and more
Take a look at these 3 veterinary centers newly opened or coming soon
The establishment and growth of new veterinary clinics and facilities enhance pet care by improving access to medical services, enabling pet owners to obtain timely treatment for their animals. These expansions not only lead to better health outcomes for pets but also raise awareness about animal welfare and preventive care in the community. Furthermore, the growth of veterinary facilities boosts local economies by generating employment opportunities and supporting related businesses.
Below are 3 new veterinary facilities opening in the United States:
Lovet Pet Health Care (Chicago)

Lovet Pet Health Care has opened its flagship veterinary hospital in Chicago's West Loop, a neighborhood in Illinois. Offering a new approach to accessible and comprehensive pet care, the facility provides free exam fees, same-day appointments, and flexible payment options to help ease the financial costs of veterinary care, according to a news release.1 The new facility features advanced technology and equipment. Additionally, the hospital partnered with Aracadis, an international architecture firm, to institute a low stress hospital layout and design for pets, clients, and staff.
"Lovet's goal is to ensure that pet parents never have to choose between their pet's health and financial stability," said Courtney Gruber, president of Lovet, in a news release.1 "With pilot initiatives like always offering free exam fees and flexible payment options through Lovet Pay, we're breaking down barriers to care and creating a supportive experience for pets and their families. We're excited to debut this approach with our Chicago flagship hospital, setting a new standard for accessible, convenient, and comprehensive veterinary care."
Cat Tales Feline Health Center (California)
Cat Tales Feline Health Center in Davis, California, opened the doors to its clinic at 6060 West Covell Boulevard. The center was founded by Julie Cole, DVM, DACT, PhD, and Chris “Shac” Shacoski, DVM, and offers specialized veterinary care exclusively for cats. Cat Friendly and Fear Free-certified, the center consists of a veterinary team with cat-care credentials and a partnership with UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. The new facility offers a variety of services, including behavior/lifestyle counseling, dentistry, diagnostics, medical boarding, nutrition counseling, surgery, wellness and preventive care, and personalized care plans.
“After spending years working in and visiting traditional veterinary practices, I’ve seen the critical need for a peaceful, calm experience for cats,” Cole said in a news release.2 “Most existing practices are noisy, and their approach doesn’t effectively address cats’ anxiety. Everything we do at Cat Tales is designed with cats—and the people who love them—in mind. From the colors of the walls to the quiet atmosphere and the specialized cat-focused training our team undergoes, we strive to provide a place where both cats and their owners can feel as comfortable as possible.”
Chewy Vet Care The Triangle (Texas)
A new Chewy Vet Care location in Austin, Texas at 4700 W Guadalupe Street, Building A, Suite A-1 is now open. The new location, like Chewy Vet Care’s other locations, provides a full range of services, including routine check-ups, urgent care, surgery, rabies vaccination, dental cleaning, nail trimming, and more.3
The new location also includes separate waiting areas specifically designed for shy or anxious animal patients. Clients can also access an online pet portal with a personalized care plan. The portal also allows clients to track prescriptions, receive reminders from the veterinary team as well as round-the-clock remote health guidance, and more.3
