Animal Health Center has been a proud member of the Clifton Park community for many successful years. We are committed to being in the forefront of the latest medical and surgical advances. In 2015 we proudly celebrate 25 years of accreditation by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), which is one of the highest honors an animal hospital can achieve. AAHA was established in 1933 by leaders in the veterinary profession, and is the only exclusive companion animal veterinary association. AAHA believes in setting "The Standard of Veterinary Excellence." AAHA is well known for its high standards in veterinary practices and quality pet care and promotes those standards within the veterinary profession and to the public. The Association develops benchmarks of excellence, business practice standards, informative publications and educational programs designed to help companion animal hospitals thrive.

We now offer Care Club Wellness plans for all life stages of your pet. Simply join Care Club and take advantage of our monthly payment plan, no pre-qualification, and savings on wellness services. Animal Health Center also has Best Care Annual Check Up for pets 6 years old and under, Senior Wellness Screening for your geriatric pets, and Preventative Care Clinics, where vaccines are given at half price, on Tuesday and Thursday from 12-4pm.

We proudly participate in The Friends Of Animals community spay and neuter program and in addition we offer financing for veterinary care through Care Credit and our own Care Club Wellness Plans. These programs are easy to understand and quick to apply for in our office.

Come meet the Doctors! Your Initial Pet Exam for new clients is complimentary for up to two pets, so this is a great opportunity for you and your pet to meet the team.

When you go on vacation, Animal Health Center is also a safe place, filled with familiar faces that will care for your special friends. Do you have one of those dogs that need constant stimulation? Do you have a new puppy in your family that needs socialization? Do you have an older pet that needs to go out more often than they used to? If any of these apply to you, rest easy, because we also have day care for your pet! You can drop off your pet on your way to work, and we’ll care for them during the day!


We are looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!
