We bring this to life through three promises:

Guided by our values—We Care, We Dare, We Share—we prioritize well-being, embrace challenges, and foster collaboration. Rooted in passion and compassion, we support our people, patients, their families, and our communities. Humble and approachable, we achieve more together.
Timberlea Animal Hospital is a full-service veterinary hospital that provides Timberlea and the surrounding communities tailored services to suit their pet’s specific medical needs.
Our care team of 4 doctors, assisted by an outstanding staff of 5 RVTs, 3 client care specialists and 2 veterinary assistants, strive to deliver the best possible medical care along with exceptional customer service to patients and clients. Each visit is for us a chance to bring a new generation approach to modern veterinary medicine.
Clients tend to comment about our compassionate and caring greeting and our concern for patients’ well-being as well as for the clients’ education: we do our best to make our clients feel completely at ease by being committed, diligent and informative by regularly updating them about their best friend's health and needs.
Services offered include: comprehensive physical examinations and consultations, behavioral consultations, surgery (soft tissue and dental surgery), preventative and restorative dental care, as well as high quality digital imaging services.
