A one-of-a-kind experience
Over 300 X-rays each year, nearly 200 anesthetics, and more than 11,000 lab tests!
Our team of veterinary medicine experts works every day with heart and professionalism to care for more than 1,500 animals.
From sharks to giraffes—along with ostriches and boas—these animal health care pros do work that’s both complex and fascinating. And here’s the good news: during Spring Break (March 2 to 6), they’re opening the doors to their hospital for an exclusive look into their world!
