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!
