Overview
Since opening our doors in 1984, the Lovet Pet Health Care family (formerly AZPetVet) has grown to include over 2 dozen small animal, general practice hospitals in the Greater Phoenix Metro area and the Midwest. Bonded by our commitment to provide WOW service to our clients and patients, we are honored to work alongside such a dynamic and diverse team of veterinary professionals. While our name is new, the exceptional level of care we provide to pets will remain the same as it has for the last 40 years. This exciting growth will allow us to bring our care to even more pets and pet parents. The first Lovet Pet Health Care hospital opened in late 2024 in a brand new, built-from-the-ground up location in Chicago's thriving Fulton Market neighborhood. In 2025 we plan to expand to the Grand Rapids region of Michigan!
At Lovet Pet Health Care, we believe that our veterinarians are the heart of our success. Our mission is to provide exceptional care to pets. Lovet offers routine preventive care, urgent sick care, as well as cutting edge dental and surgical care for companion animals. Our 22 existing clinics cover the Greater Phoenix area. At the end of 2024, we're taking an exciting step toward expansion outside of Arizona, with a brand new clinic in Chicago and several more in Michigan in 2025.
