Our Practice
Our Mission & Commitment to Care
At South Hyland Pet Hospital, our mission is to strengthen the health and well-being of pets in our community through compassionate, personalized, and partnership-driven care. We believe the best medicine comes from collaboration—between our team, pet owners, and the pets we are all devoted to. From your pet’s first visit through every stage of life, we provide individualized care using modern medicine, clear communication, and a gentle, team-based approach.
A Privately-Owned Practice Since 1974
As a locally and privately-owned hospital, we take pride in offering a full range of services supported by the latest advancements in veterinary medicine. We know you understand your pet better than anyone else, which is why we work directly with you to create tailored treatment plans. You are encouraged to choose your preferred doctor, ask questions, and take an active role in your pet’s care.
A Highly Trained Team You Can Trust
Our veterinarians, medical staff, and client service team complete more than 400 hours of continuing education each year, ensuring your pet benefits from up-to-date knowledge and best practices. We also continually upgrade our equipment and facilities so you and your pet receive care in a clean, modern, and comfortable environment.
AAHA Accredited Since 1979
We are proud to have been accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) since 1979.
AAHA’s Standards of Accreditation include over 900 requirements that examine nearly every aspect of veterinary care, including:
- Surgery
- Pharmacy
- Laboratory services
- Exam facilities
- Medical records
- Cleanliness & infection control
- Emergency care

These standards are recognized across North America as the benchmark for high-quality veterinary care and are routinely updated to reflect evolving medical advancements. Fewer than 15% of veterinary hospitals in the U.S. and Canada meet these rigorous requirements.
