PetSmart Veterinary Services (PVS) recently ANNOUNCED the opening of its first hospital location this month in Peoria, Arizona. PVS plans to open several animal hospitals over the next few months in Florida, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
The first PVS Hospital is located inside PetSmart – Lake Pleasant: 25372 N Lake Pleasant, Peoria, AZ 85383
According to Dr. Jaime Klimsey Pickett, DVM and owner of the PVS Hospital in Peoria, AZ:
- “Since I began practicing veterinary medicine, I have seen the difference in the care provided to pets and the happiness and fulfillment of the veterinarians themselves when they are in control of their own business. This independent ownership model empowers doctors to continue to do what they love while supporting their own career and personal development. It is a win-win for veterinarians across the country.”
