VCA Dallas Animal Specialty Hospital

Our Story

With over 40 years of experience, VCA Dallas Animal Specialty Hospital (formerly Animal Diagnostic Clinic) is North Texas’s most established and trusted specialty veterinary center.

On September 15, 2025, we opened our brand-new, 23,000 sq ft, state-of-the-art facility—just steps from our original location in Dallas, TX. With this exciting expansion came a new name that better reflects our advanced capabilities and collaborative, multi-specialty approach to care.

Our mission is to provide advanced specialty veterinary care with precision and compassion. We are committed to supporting pet owners and primary care veterinarians through trusted partnerships, advanced diagnostics, educational opportunities, and innovative treatments. Our goal is to improve outcomes and enhance quality of life for every patient.
